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, Moustache bridge, and engraved 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 while the flame maple back and sides add midrange boost and a dash of treble strength. The 2-piece maple neck's "Round" profile feels friendly and inviting to Gibson Acoustic fans. Real 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 engraved pickguard, which showcases a delicate flowering pattern. With the 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

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.

Absolutely Great Guitar

After receiving this guitar, and waiting the longest 24 hours, so it could accumulate after being shipped, I opened the box and case, it was well worth the wait. The guitar is absolutely gorgeous. No adjustments needed at all. Sounds amazing, plays fantastic, and is all around one of the best guitars I own. Having been playing for 60 plus year, that is saying a lot.

A special thank you to sales engineer Nate Burkhardt for working with me on quite a few guitars over the years, but this guitar is one of the best. Highly recommend this guitar.

My new SJ 200

This guitar is amazing! It has such beautiful tone. Plays absolutely nice and clean, flawless sound. My best acoustic yet! And I have a few others that don't come close to the sound coming from the SJ 200. I highly recommend it!,
