Flat-top King with a Country-western Flair

A mainstay instrument for many of music history's beloved players since 1937, the celebrated tones of the Gibson Acoustic SJ-200 Western Classic Acoustic Guitar are guaranteed to stimulate any live performance or studio session. An unabashed tribute to the heyday of country-western music, this highly decorated "King of the Flat-tops" features a loud, clear voice for strumming and delicate fingerpicking, thanks to its AAA solid Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides. Its rock-solid maple neck capped with smooth-as-glass ebony translates vibrations beautifully to the body, with enough durability to last for generations of consistent use. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer today and add the bold tone and striking image of the timeless Gibson Acoustic SJ-200 Western Classic to your instrument stable!

Exquisitely crafted tonewoods deliver a full-bodied voice

Gibson's SJ-200 Western Classic is part of the manufacturer's storied line of Super Jumbo acoustic guitars, all of which feature an uncompromising commitment to the highest-quality tonewoods available. At its core sits an AAA-grade Sitka spruce top to deliver the SJ-200 Western Classic's robust voice, with exquisite rosewood for the back and sides adding richness and high-end sparkle. High-grade ebony — personally inspected and approved by Gibson's world-class luthiers — comprises the SJ-200 Western Classic's fingerboard, silky-smooth to the touch and supremely comfortable in all playing positions while imbuing exceptional clarity and character into your playing.

Abundant stunning ornamentations

One look is all it takes to understand the special care and consideration Gibson gave the SJ-200 Western Classic. Its 2-piece maple neck boasts beautiful Graduated Crown inlays, which were made of genuine mother-of-pearl and inserted into the fingerboard using a unique process that eliminates gaps without fillers. For added visual flair, this stunning work of playable art boasts an iconic Moustache bridge as well as a mother-of-pearl script logo and torch on the headstock. With such stunning appointments and bold aesthetics, the SJ-200 Western Classic is clearly worthy of a "King."

Gibson Acoustic SJ-200 Western Classic Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Classic "King of the Flat-tops" acoustic with massive tone
  • An ode to Gibson's storied lineage in country-western music
  • Solid Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides give you a wide tonal range with excellent dynamic response
  • Ebony fingerboard with rolled edges provides a smooth playing experience
  • Beautifully inlaid fretboard, bridge, and headstock

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Worth the wait!

Received this guitar about a month ago after ordering in April.. and my gosh does it live up to my expectations and then some.

I have some other nice guitars (2017 D18 Custom Shop, '68 Martin D35, and a '61 Gibson Country Western) and this stands head and shoulders above all of them in its complexity of tone. Fills a room up in a very similar way to my 1930 Juzek Upright Bass.. kind of feels quiet when you're behind it but out front it's projecting like nothing I've ever played or heard. Had my bud play it for me (who has a lighter touch than me) and it's an absolute cannon.. I've never heard a guitar with so much power and clarity all at the same time. Sounds even better than it looks.. absolutely unreal!

Only complaint would be the sub-par case that was supplied (broken d-rings on the handle, interior lining peeing off).. kind of a tough look for Gibson on a $7500 guitar but ya know I didn't buy the thing for the case.

Do want to extend a huge thanks to Aaron and Andy at Sweetwater for providing exceptional customer service and getting a new case on order for me without batting an eye. To me that's the reason one would make their next purchase with SW.. they are truly the best when it comes to making sure their customers are happy. Can't say enough good things!
