Includes Hardshell Case

The Gibson SJ200 Jumbo Acoustic Guitar has earned its place as one of the most iconic guitars of all time, beloved by legends like Elvis, Bob Dylan, Pete Townshend, Emmylou Harris, and The Edge. This Custom Shop 1957 model is a faithful recreation of a piece of guitar history, with meticulous craftsmanship that includes hand-selected maple for the back and sides, a period-correct nitrocellulose finish, traditional hand-scalloped bracing, and hide glue construction. The result is a guitar that blends vintage charm with modern performance, making it a true heirloom piece.

The SJ-200 excels in every way, from its breathtaking spacious tone to its visually stunning design. The thermally aged Sitka spruce top offers a rich balance of warmth and clarity, while the flame maple back and sides add depth to the sound. The rosewood fingerboard and four-bar mustache bridge complete the vintage look, while the graduated crown inlays and dandelion flower pickguard showcase the stunning attention to detail. Whether strummed lightly or played aggressively, the SJ-200 delivers an immersive musical experience that inspires musicians for a lifetime.
