Bought a reproduction of the original 1939 J-100 made during Gibson's centennial year 1994. There were 100 made and it is probably internally closer to a Taylor than a old Gibson but still it was cool having a reproduction of a guitar that is part of history. It also gives you the ability to maybe get woods that you can't normally get. In my case the fret board was ebony, which I really wanted in a guitar. Don't know of many J-100 or J-200 with ebony fretboards. The ones I don't understand are the incredible prices paid for reproductions of distressed copies of famous players guitars. What is Eric Clapton' cigarette burn worth?
