Gibson SJ-200 Original Vintage Sunburst Acoustic Electric Guitar
SJ-200 Original - The King of the Flat-tops
The Gibson SJ-200 is the world's most famous acoustic guitar and earned its designation as the "King of the Flat-Tops." Since its release in 1937, its wide use by American artists of this century has made the Super Jumbo one of the most widely played acoustic guitars of our time.
This guitar expertly blends traditional tonewoods with high-quality electronics to produce a well-balanced tone suitable for both recording and performing. The combination of Sitka spruce and maple results in a rich and powerful sound, particularly ideal for fingerpicking. When using a flat pick, the guitar's volume and strength only increase, while maintaining a clear and beautiful singing voice.
The most striking features of the new SJ-200 Original include the carved four bar Moustache bridge, an engraved tortoise pickguard, mother-of-pearl crown fretboard and headstock inlay, and exquisite flamed maple back and sides.
Additionally, the onboard LR Baggs VTC electronics provide a complete and responsive sound for amplified performances.
A premium hardshell case is included.
The SJ-200 is an American original with its shape and elegant appearance. There isn't anything else out there like it,
