What's more, Sweetwater got the rare opportunity to hand-select the quilted maple back and sides, from Ren's own workshop.

The vision of a master craftsman and a Gibson legend, Ren Ferguson
Gibson's Ren Ferguson is among the world's most respected luthiers — if not at the top of the list. And, he's known for taking an incredible guitar design and turning it into a true work of art. Here, with the Gibson SJ-200 Montana Gold LTD 20th Anniversary, Ren was the brain behind the project — selecting tonewoods, and designing every intricate detail. In respect, the instrument features a custom label, signed by Ren.

Gorgeous hand-selected tonewoods from Ren Ferguson's workshop
The Gibson SJ-200 Montana Gold LTD 20th Anniversary features nothing but the best tonewoods available at Gibson's Bozeman, MT operation. And, the primary tonewoods in this guitar come straight from Ren's personal workshop. Ren selected this guitar's top by hand, choosing flawless AAA-grade Adirondack spruce. And, for this instrument's back and sides, Sweetwater had the opportunity to browse the fantastic selection of tonewoods in Ren's workshop. We selected gorgeous quilted maple, to complete the SJ-200 Montana Gold LTD 20th Anniversary's collection of primary tonewoods.

The SJ-200: a body style steeped in Gibson history
Introduced in the late 1930s, Gibson's Super Jumbo guitars were originally crafted to cut through even the loudest of acoustic ensembles, allowing them to compete with the mandolins and banjos that were prevalent in "pre-amplified" times. And, it's still a thrill to hear the well-balanced sound of a Super Jumbo ring out loud and clear, the maple sides and spruce top pumping out a throaty tone that's equally great for hi-octane strumming and delicate fingerpicking.
