You will be heard with Gibson’s Super Jumbo body style
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 the pre-amplified era. It’s still a thrill to hear the well-balanced sound of a Super Jumbo ringing out loud and clear. Many guitarists at Sweetwater — from rockers to country pickers — choose these guitars for their incredible sound, projection, build quality, playability, and — let’s face it — stunning looks. Take the stage with this beauty, and all eyes will be on you!

Gold Grover Imperial tuners add the finishing touch to this superb guitar. A collector’s dream, the Gibson Acoustic J-200 Rosewood is an instrument your family will treasure for generations.
Classic Gibson craftsmanship for impeccable sound, looks, and playability
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, Michigan to Nashville, Tennessee (where Gibson electric guitars continue to be made), Gibson finally settled their acoustic operation in Bozeman, Montana, where they continue to handcraft some of the finest guitars on the planet. Sweetwater is proud to offer to you such a fine line of distinguished musical instruments.
