That bridge does not look Gibson. Could be one of the many smaller builders making Gibby J style guitars.

Actually, Gibson DID use a Martin-style belly bridge on some of the guitars they built during the 1990’s - I owned a late 90’s WM-45 that had a bridge similar to the one in the photo.

Don't be surprised if it's actually a Guild.

Guild are well known for their Jumbo bodied guitars.

It doesn't look like a Gibson to me, but I could be wrong.

Bridge looks a bit like a Faith.

Default Found it - Sundberg guitar

Found it https://www.sundbergguitars.com/artists/mauro-scocco/

"Master luthier David Sundberg has, under the name of Sundberg Guitars, supplied many talented guitarists with top of the line, handmade guitars.
David has been fortunate to work with names as Ryan Adams, Keith Richards, Mark Olson... and many more great players."

Apparently David used to work at Collings in Austin, but his guitars don't sound like Collings.

The guitar in question in the photo is a Sundberg J2 in the hands of Swedish artist Mauro Scocco (I'd be really surprised if anyone here knows who that is :-)) https://www.sundbergguitars.com/artists/mauro-scocco/

It takes about a year or more to get your custom order from Sundberg.
