Gibson Acoustic SJ-200 Quilt Acoustic-electric Guitar - Viper Blue, Sweetwater Exclusive Reviews
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.

Sweetwater is amazing. This SJ 200 is mediocre
1) The strap peg on the bottom of the guitar is almost unable to hold a strap it is so tiny and has a very small lip on it.
2) The expensive paint job had a flaw that was annoying enough to me that I was not willing to keep it. Gibson did a poor job painting around the sound hole.
3) The pick guard is a sticker… you say, "surely this guy is joking…" I'm not. It is a plastic sticker that is very easily damaged… like one of those thick stickers that kids play with that is a bit puffy and easily damaged even by my fingernail. I feel a guitar of this price should have a really nice pick guard, not just a cheap plastic sticker.
4) I learned that this class of guitar doesn't have a strap peg on the neck. If you want one installed, you have to get it installed. Sweetwater will do it for you. They are awesome. That was just a surprise for me.
5) The guitar plays wonderfully. Loved playing it. So smooth. Great sound. Feels great.
I gave it 4 stars for the reasons above. The most important thing is it plays wonderfully.
