Spruce and maple fuel a sophisticated roar
Each SJ-200 Custom is crafted in the USA by passionate artisans, and the SJ-200 Custom makes that tradition known with a vibrant selection of spruce and flame maple tonewoods. The SJ-200 Custom’s solid spruce top fuels powerful projection and dynamic sharpness, making leaps from rhythm strums to delicate fingerpicking seamless and smooth. Flame maple forms this SJ-200’s back and sides, adding distinct note separation and overall clarity that brings equilibrium to the massive bass of an extra-large sound chamber such as this one. Maple is the preferred tonewood for jumbo acoustics, and the SJ-200 Custom stays true to that formula while opting for extra-bold looks that are sure to please!
Premium custom appointments
Those who wield any SJ-200 onstage know that the looks, and compliments they bring, are a big part of what draws us to these guitars! The SJ-200 Custom acknowledges this, and then raises the stakes with captivating deluxe appointments. Both the headstock and ebony fingerboard draw inspiration from Les Paul electrics with flashy inlays that translate perfectly to this jumbo behemoth. SJ-200 fanatics will quickly notice this custom version’s stunning two-bar mustache bridge, carved from ebony and fitted with iridescent inlays for a formidable spin on this signature bridge shape. Also, premium hardware, including a bone nut and Grover tuners, ensures that your guitar strings and tonewoods always resonate with strength and clarity, with tuning breaks few and far in between.
LR Baggs electronics
LR Baggs VTC electronics capture the kind of amplified acoustic tone you’d expect from a world-class audio engineer working overtime. At the core of the VTC system is an LR Baggs Element pickup with tone and volume controls, a unique build that tracks the guitar top’s vibrations instead of string attack. VTC technology saturates amplified tone with extra harmonic content and analog warmth that’s natural sounding yet noticeably better than a standard acoustic pickup. Additional dynamic automatic EQ handles problematic frequencies as they arise with touch-sensitive compression that works with your playing for a more authentic amplified tone that’s tough to beat.
