Gibson Acoustic

Beautiful GIBSON CJ-165 CE Maple Acoustic Electric up for grabs!

Selling my 2007 CJ-165 CE Maple Acoustics Electric in EXC++ condition. This one is the rare flamed maple back & sides (& flamed maple neck!) - this model is no longer available. If your looking for a nice smaller-body J-200 style compact jumbo that's easy to play and sounds really great, this one's for you. As you can see the sunburst solid premium Sitka spruce top is just beautiful, as is the flamey figured maple. The guitar has almost no visible playing wear with only a few minor cosmetic items keeping it from true mint condition. (a small scratch on lower side next to end pin and some black paint edge worn on edge of side of headstock near high E tuner - see pics) Frets and rosewood fingerboard are near mint. The on-board Fishman Ellipse Aura electronic system sounds really awesome; only control is a very inobtrusive, barely visible, small volume wheel inside the sound hole. The bright clarity of maple body with smooth spruce top resonance!

Comes with nice plush Gibson deluxe hardshell case and Gibson Acoustics Owner's Manual. 

Here's the full description of all the features that was on the Gibson website (before they discontinued the maple model):

Timeless craftsmanship with the latest electronics.

With all the resonance of a larger guitar, the acoustic-electric JC-165CE from Gibson USA is perfect for players needing a smaller body profile for the precision of fingerstyle and flatpicking runs. As comfortable as it is beautiful, the CJ-165CE guitar has premium maple back and sides. With a premium Sitka spruce top and 1930s-style, wide-scalloped X-bracing for incredible tone. The graceful cutaway allows complete fretboard access, and Fishman Ellipse Aura system electronics mimic the sound of 4 different recorded guitar sounds using 4 classic microphones, with a sound hole mounted volume control.
