Gibson SJ-200 'Antique Natural' Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Gibson SJ-200 Antique Natural has set the standard for acoustic guitars since its debut in 1937, earning the nickname "King of the Flat-tops" for a deep, balanced and powerful voice that has captivated musicians for generations. A Sitka spruce top paired with maple back and sides provides a rich, resonant tone, while a stunning marquetry strip inlaid in the back, multi-ply top and back binding, and the traditional double-ring rosette showcase Gibson's attention to detail beneath the antique natural finish.

A maple neck with rounded profile and rosewood fretboard, finished with Mother of Pearl crown inlays, delivers exceptional playability and a touch of luxury, while the compound dovetail neck joint and hide glue construction offer optimal resonance and stability. Onboard LR Baggs Element VTC electronics ensure faithful amplified sound reproduction, making the SJ-200 ideal for players who want a world-class flat-top experience on stage or in the studio.
