I have been looking forward to the arrival of this guitar since I played it at Thunder Road guitars in Portland weeks ago and insisted we trade for something I might have. I was counting the days! Thank you, Will. This is a great sounding J 200, maybe one of the better ones I have had. I think the 1959 factory large frets could be one of the reasons for that. This guitar seems to be pretty intact and free of damage, including the original case. There is a small pick wear spot above the sound hole that has been brushed over or touched up.
