The Epiphone Pre-War SJ-200 Rosewood 'Inspired By Gibson Custom' Acoustic Electric Guitar is a stunning reimagining of the legendary Gibson SJ-200, widely known as the "King of the Flat-Tops." Drawing inspiration from Gibson’s late 1930s models, this exceptional guitar features a thermally aged solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides, delivering a rich, warm tone with excellent projection. The ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl inlays, combined with a two-piece figured maple neck with a rosewood center stripe, creates a visually striking and comfortable playing experience. Finished in a Vintage Gloss, this guitar is a perfect blend of modern craftsmanship and classic design.
Built for both the stage and studio, the Pre-War SJ-200 Rosewood is equipped with the L.R. Baggs Element Bronze VTC pickup system, ensuring pristine amplified sound. Its solid thermally aged spruce top offers remarkable tonal clarity, while the bone nut and compensated bone saddle enhance sustain and overall sound quality. The guitar is designed with an era-correct round D profile for smooth playability, making it perfect for musicians seeking the timeless sound and feel of a vintage acoustic with modern features. Whether you’re a collector or performer, the Epiphone Pre-War SJ-200 is a beautiful and highly functional instrument that carries the legacy of Gibson’s iconic craftsmanship.
