Gibson celebrates country music legend Johnny Cash and his eldest daughter, singer-songwriter and author Rosanne Cash with these limited edition acoustic guitars. Each guitar is limited to just 100 pieces world wide and only 1 of each is available in Australia.
JOHNNY CASH SJ-200
Johnny Cash profoundly impacted multiple genres, including country, rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel music. He sold over 90 million records and was inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, Gospel Music, Rockabilly, Nashville Songwriters, and the Memphis Music Halls of Fame. He received 13 GRAMMY® Awards, including a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999 and nine CMA awards, and was a recipient of Kennedy Centre Honours and the National Medal of Arts. In the late 50s, Gibson made two SJ-200s for Cash that featured his name inlaid in mother of pearl on the fretboard and a distinctive pickguard designed by Johnny Cash himself. Gibson Custom is proud to release recreations of these guitars to honour his legacy. Only 100 of these beautiful and highly-requested instruments were hand-made by the expert luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop in Bozeman, Montana, as part of this remarkable limited run.
ROSANNE CASH J-185
The new Gibson Custom Shop Rosanne Cash J-185 was made in collaboration with this legendary artist and delivers exceptional versatility. It features a flame maple body that is slightly thinner for superior playing comfort, a thermally-aged Sitka spruce top, and a SlimTaper™ 24.75” mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard that’s outfitted with 20 standard frets and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. The Gibson logo and Crown are also mother-of-pearl, as is the Cash logo on the unique-to-this-model pickguard, designed by Rosanne and her husband, John Leventhal, with inspiration from her father’s iconic J-200 pickguard shape. An L.R. Baggs™ VTC under saddle pickup and preamp system makes this guitar ready for any stage or studio as soon as you take it out of the included custom Rosanne Cash hard-shell case. Only 100 of these beautiful instruments will be made by the expert luthiers and craftspeople of the Gibson Custom Shop in Bozeman, Montana, as part of this very special limited run.
