STRUM IT LIKE ZIMMERMAN

Bob Dylan SJ-200 Autographed Collector’s Edition

Gibson has released not one but two signature Bob Dylan acoustic guitars. The guitars are said to have been made with a direct collaboration with Dylan himself.

We’ll start with the SJ-200 Autographed Collector’s Edition. Featured above, it is an exact replica of Zimmerman’s own customized SJ-200. Built from Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce, the six string features a headstock with Dylan’s eye logo inlaid with mother-of-pearl. A true collector’s edition Gibson is releasing only 175 copies of the autographed acoustic.

The second release is the Bob Dylan SJ-200 Player’s Edition. This one is described as translating Bob’s SJ-200. The differences between the two guitars are many. Most notable, the Player’s Edition is made with maple and a spruce top. There’s also the  addition of a pick up in the Player’s, which allows you to get amped up in an instance. This could upset the flock crowd all over again.

Both instruments are beautiful, but they’re not cheap.

The SJ-200 Players Edition will run you $4,999. A bargain compared to the SJ-200 Autographed Collector’s Edition which is priced at $9,999.

Prices that’ll have you serving somebody for quite a while.
