The King of the Flat Tops

The Gibson Acoustic SJ-200 Original is descended from the most storied flat top guitars ever constructed. It combines classic tonewoods with premium electronics to create the perfect tone for studio and stage work. The pairing of Sitka spruce with maple creates a powerful voice with a tight low end that's ideal for fingerpicking. When you dig in with a flat pick, the power gets even more pronounced, yet this guitar's singing voice remains extremely clear. For your plugged-in pleasure, onboard LR Baggs VTC electronics deliver a full and dynamic response. The SJ-200 has all the luxury appointments you'd expect from a top-end Gibson, including Graduated Crown fretboard inlays, a Moustache bridge, and a decorated pickguard. Thanks to its dynamic voice and legendary Gibson Craftsmanship, the Gibson Acoustic SJ-200 Original is a guitar you and your loved ones will treasure for a lifetime to come.

Top-notch tonewoods

The Gibson Acoustic SJ-200 Original is a member of Gibson's famed line of Super Jumbo guitars. The Sitka spruce top produces a strong, clear voice, and maple back and sides add a midrange boost and a dash of treble strength. The 2-piece maple neck's "Round" profile feels friendly and inviting to Gibson Acoustic fans. A genuine bone nut and saddles complete the sonic package.

LR Baggs Session VTC Electronics

The impressive plugged-in tone of the SJ-200 comes from an onboard LR Baggs Session VTC Pickup and Preamp. You'll enjoy rich, warm analog tones that are voiced specifically for the acoustic guitar. The Session VTC automatically suppresses unwanted feedback to let the true character of the SJ-200 shine through. It also has a "touch-sensitive" dynamic EQ for low, mid, and high-frequency compression. The harder you strum, the more compression it dishes out. The onboard volume and tone controls are discretely located in the soundhole to preserve the good looks of your axe.

All the bling you can ask for

As Gibson's top-of-the-line acoustic, the SJ-200 certainly looks the part. When you look at it from the front, you'll notice stunning ornamentation and detailed inlay work. From the headstock to the bridge, pearl is everywhere. Mother-of-pearl Graduated Crown inlays decorate the fingerboard, while a Four Bar Moustache bridge is bursting with MOP inlays. However, the real star of the show is the decorated pickguard, which showcases a delicate flowering pattern. With its beautiful and bold aesthetics, the Gibson Acoustic SJ-200 Original is for those who want to make a statement.

  • Super Jumbo acoustic-electric that pumps out the tone
  • LR Baggs VTC electronics reproduce studio-quality plugged-in tone
  • Solid Sitka spruce top adds nuanced articulation

Reviews

SJ-200 is one of the guitars worth owning in my life
The sound produced by the guitar heard by the player and the audience standing in front of the guitar are two different sounds. The sound heard by the player is a little dull, but as a listener or while listening to the recording, you will be very surprised that the sound is very even, and the entire guitar panel and neck are vibrating with the sound of the guitar when playing. It is a great guitar, one of the guitars worth owning in this life; you will not regret it, especially if you are a person who mainly strums or a singer. The sound it produces is perfectly combined with the human voice, and the frequencies are complementary, which is very suitable for strumming accompaniment or singing.
Dream Acoustic: Jumbo Style!
Basically waited my whole life to own one of these, and this one was no disappointment. It's everything you think it's going to be and 15% more. It's deep, lush, resonant, crisp, and gorgeous on the eye!!
I also have to offer up serious props to my sales engineer Colin for handling the order with grace & efficiency...and getting this guitar into my hands.
These SJ 200s are in American icon, and now I know why. Amazing stuff.
All Around Stunning
This guitar's Vintage Burst finish is MUCH more vibrant to behold in person. It's tone, feel, and playability are outstanding as well. It's been a lifelong dream to own one of these SJ-200's and it does NOT disappoint in any way.
Crisp and RICH!
Booming yet articulate.

Get one!!! Oh

Gibson SJ-200 Orginal-Vintage Sunburst. One Stunning Gibson Guitar!
This Gibson arrived from Sweetwater just a couple of days ago, Friday, October 11, 2024. Jordan Dean, sales engineer, he made it happen. He came through in securing this great Gibson. Thank you Jordan-You Rock! First of all the craftsmanship is top notch. No tool marks or any defects at all from the Bozeman MT factory. Beautiful work in building this guitar! I gave it the once over twice when it arrived and I am 100% satisfied! Great low action from the start with the ease to play. Boomy and very deep sounding Jumbo when played normal. I enjoy that! If I use a heavy handed attack even more rich sounding! Fingerstyle is a pleasure with clear and articulate sounds-I love it! This is my second Gibson SJ-200. As one man from Bozeman MT says, "Everyone Should Own a Gibson SJ-200." I do and agree! You should as well!
Music background: Playing guitars since 1979! It all started in the Tequila state of Jalisco, México. On my dad's ranch!
Like Nothing Else
Deeply resonant and somehow chiming & clear.
Elegantly and perfectly finished with zero flaws.
I woulda paid a thousand more for this beauty.
It will never part from my collection.
