The Gibson J-250 Monarch acoustic guitar features ultra-exclusive amenities in a stunning and extremely limited anniversary package—only 6 of these 20th anniversary guitars will ever be made. It's built on a jumbo style platform for a big, beautiful design. The response can accommodate anything from aggressive chording to gentle finger movements.

This Gibson acoustic guitar features a solid Sitka spruce top, yielding tremendous balance in the bass, mid, and high frequencies, and ideal tone to accommodate either fingerpicking or flatpicking. The back and sides are rosewood, offering remarkable beauty and powerful resonance. The body and top are connected with hide glue, ensuring the instrument's longevity. It is finished off dressed with ornamental beauty in the headstock inlays, binding, and the rosette. The headstock features a custom crown inlay, a custom abalone trussrod cover, and a real 2.5mm diamond gem dotting the "I" in the Gibson headstock logo inlay. The J-250 Monarch guitar comes out of the box ready to make your jaw drop—it has the look and feel of an antique six-string handed down through the generations. The antique natural lacquer finish gives it a center-stage presence from top to bottom that you will love from the minute you get it in your hands.

A true Monarch among guitars, the J-250 acoustic is one of the most dazzling instruments ever built by Gibson (or anybody else). Rich HeritageThe artisans at Gibson took the iconic crown inlays of the J-200 fretboard and headstock and made them even more regal and realistic looking to represent the class and rich heritage of the Monarch. Both have extremely intricate inlay patterns that are executed with incredible precision containing multiple inlays within inlays of mother-of-pearl and Paua abolone.Hand-crafted DetailingThe delicate volute at the hand stop at the rear of the headstock is hand executed on equally matched bound ebony, It is veneered with the instrument's serial number displayed in the banners of the mother-of-pearl inlay.The Quintessence of QualityThe extra fretboard ebony binding harkens back to the classiest guitars of the Jazz era of the thirties. The complete coverage of body joints with extra wide Paua shell, a three-piece back, and a new floral tortoise pickguard engraving are all done to surpass all fine guitars including the flagship model J-200.Regal PresentationFinely detailed appointments on this classy instrument: multi-ply body binding with abalone inlay, ebony moustache bridge with abalone inlays, and gold tuners all come together to unfold in a regal visual presentation. Sublimely sophisticated tone emanates from the guitar's solid select Sitka spruce top and Madagascar rosewood back and sides. The Eastern Curly Maple neck provides additional warm resonance. We could sell many more a year, but the selection criteria for materials and the extra time to build keep the J-250 Monarch's numbers low, making each instrument very special.

The depth and mellowness of the Gibson L-5 CES is winning acclaim for this fine jazz guitar from the most discriminating artists. The tonal quality of the acoustic guitar and the advantages of an electric are combined in one instrument. Very few carved guitars are built each year because of the scarcity of the wood required and the handcrafting involved. The building of the L-5s is overseen by Jim Hutchins, a Gibson Builder since 1963. The process has remained relatively unchanged since the 1950s, including the hand-tuning of the top and back. Guitarists sing the praises of the comfortable vintage neck; the fast, easy action; and the rich beauty of the carved spruce top. Other features on the Gibson guitar include a figured, carved maple back with solid maple rims; a pearl inlaid ebony fingerboard; and beautiful multi white-black binding. With the creation of the L-5 in the 1920s, the modern archtop guitar was invented and it has set the standard for all carved guitars that have followed.
