Only at Sweetwater: King of the Flat Tops
Available only at Sweetwater, the Gibson SJ-200 Quilt acoustic-electric guitar is descended from one of the most legendary 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 a solid Sitka spruce top with quilted maple back and sides 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, while the guitar's voice retains its clarity and defintion. When you plug in, onboard LR Baggs VTC electronics deliver a full and dynamic response as well. The SJ-200 Quilt has all the luxury appointments you'd expect from a top-end Gibson, including graduated crown fretboard inlays, a moustache bridge, and a vintage engraved pickguard. Thanks to its dynamic voice and legendary Gibson craftsmanship, the Gibson SJ-200 Quilt is a guitar you will treasure for a lifetime.

Top-notch tonewoods
The Gibson SJ-200 Quilt is a member of Gibson's famed line of Super Jumbo guitars. The Sitka spruce top produces a strong, clear voice, while the quilted maple back and sides add midrange boost and a dash of treble strength. The mahogany neck's rounded profile and rosewood fingerboard deliver stellar response and playability. And a genuine bone nut and saddle enhance the overall resonance of this incredible instrument.
LR Baggs Session VTC electronics
The impressive plugged-in tone of the SJ-200 Quilt 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 guitar, the SJ-200 Quilt 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 the 2-bar mustache bridge is bursting with mother-of-pearl inlays. However, the real star of the show is the engraved pickguard, which showcases a delicate flowering pattern. With its beautiful and bold aesthetics, the Gibson SJ-200 Quilt is for those who want to make a statement.
