Part of the Gibson Super Jumbo family, today's J-100 Xtra is modeled after the SJ-100 of the 1930s. After several transformations, the J-100 Xtra emerged in 1993 with the classic Moustache™ Bridge, an old-style pickguard similar to that of the J-200, and a traditional headstock logo and crown.

The J-100 Xtra features a solid Sitka spruce top with scalloped bracing and solid Honduras mahogany back and sides, which deliver a thundering bottom end and a warm midrange response. Though not quite as fancy as its famous cousin, the J-200, the J-100 Xtra certainly represents the elegant power of Gibson's Super Jumbo acoustics.

Artists who play J-100 Xtras cover all musical styles and include Brooks and Dunn and The Pretenders.
