Gibson's Legendary King of the Flat Tops!

The Gibson Acoustic J-200 Custom sits at the top of Gibson's storied line of Super Jumbo acoustic guitars. This "King of the Flat Tops" features a loud, clear voice for both strumming and delicate fingerpicking, thanks to its AAA solid Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides. A premier Fishman Aura Ellipse Pickup system brings the J-200 Custom's rich tone to the stage — or the studio — with class, and its graduated crown inlays adorning the ebony fingerboard provide an air of elegance. You'll find the perfect blend of classic and modern, with the Gibson J-200 Custom.

The "King of the Flat Tops" Features Top-quality Tonewoods
Gibson's J-200 Custom brings together the ultimate in visual beauty and tonal quality — putting it at the top of Gibson's storied line of Super Jumbo acoustic guitars. Onboard, you'll find a AAA-grade Sitka spruce top for a strong voice, with Indian rosewood back and sides for balanced tone.

Ebony Fingerboard with Rolled Edges and Graduated Crown Inlays
The Gibson J-200 Custom's fingerboard comprises high-grade ebony, which is personally inspected and qualified by Gibson’s team of skilled experts before it enters the Gibson factories. This durable wood's resilience makes the fingerboard extremely balanced and stable, and gives each chord and note exceptional clarity and bite. What's more, the J-200 Custom's graduated crown inlays are made of genuine mother of pearl, and are inserted into the fingerboard using a special process that eliminates gaps and doesn’t require fillers. The fingerboard also sports a rolled edge — instead of the usual right angle, and is slightly beveled for an extremely smooth and comfortable feel, enhancing the J-200 Custom's playability.

Fishman Aura Ellipse Pickup System
Equipped with the revolutionary Fishman Aura Ellipse system, the J-200 Custom allows acoustic musicians to easily and precisely reproduce the sound of an acoustic guitar as if it miked in a professional studio. The Fishman Aura Ellipse system was programmed to conjure studio sounds with Class A microphone premplifiers and a mix of vintage and modern microphones to create Aura Acoustic images that complement the specific tone qualities of the J-200 Custom.

The Gibson Super Jumbo
Gibson's Super Jumbo guitars were originally built to cut through the loudest acoustic ensembles, allowing them to compete with the mandolins and banjos that were prevalent in "pre-amplified" times. 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 high-octane strumming and delicate fingerpicking. Everyone from arena rockers to country artists to blues greats choose these guitars for their incredible sound, projection, build quality, and, let's face it, stunning looks.

Classic Gibson Craftsmanship
Gibson's reputation as a fine guitar builder dates back to the late 1800s. Handcrafted since day one by some of the most skilled luthiers around, Gibson acoustic guitars have inspired countless players around the world. When you pick up a Gibson acoustic, you know you're getting the finest tonewoods, quality hardware, and incredible attention to detail — these instruments are built to sound great and stand the test of time. After moving from Kalamazoo, MI, to Nashville, TN (where Gibson electric guitars continue to be made), Gibson finally settled their acoustic operation in Bozeman, MT, where they continue making some of the finest guitars on the planet by hand.
