Gibson SJ-200 2018, Antique Natural

Full Description

Quality Sitka Spruce & Maple Construction

The Gibson SJ-200 features a sitka spruce top that delivers a broad dynamic range and yields a crisp and articulate tone, making the SJ-200 versatile to play. The sitka spruce top offers a sparkling high response and a tight, clear attack perfect for pronounced players. Its sitka spruce top is accompanied by maple back and sides which ensure the sound is beautifully balanced, producing a bright, loud sound. Maple also offers clear note clarity, definition, superb sustain, and plenty of bite. Together this versatile mixture of tonewoods enables players to achieve a wide range of genres and playing styles with equal ease.

LR Baggs Anthem Pickup Provides Amplified Acoustic Sound

The Gibson SJ-200 comes equipped with a soundhole mounted pickup, providing a stage-ready setup for the gigging guitarist. The LR Baggs Anthem pickup features master volume control, mix control for mic and pickup and phase for reducing undesirable feedback.

Maple Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

The Gibson SJ-200 features a neck that has been constructed from maple, offering note clarity that players will adore. A maple neck provides durability and natural resonance across the whole guitar. The neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard that adds a sonically pleasing warmth to the guitar's overall sound. Its rosewood fingerboard also offers a smooth and energetic playing experience, and is sprinkled with mother of pearl crown inlays for added elegance.

Iconic Super Jumbo Body Shape

Gibson's SJ-200 features a super jumbo body shape, offering superb projection due to all the extra room for the sound to reverberate around the body. The super jumbo shape is often found in the hands of musicians such as Noel Gallagher and Bob Dylan, purely because of the sheer volume that simply can't be recreated from a smaller bodied guitar. The super jumbo size is better suited to players with a longer reach and those more comfortable with bigger bodied guitars. Over the years players quickly took to Gibson's super jumbo size, particularly rhythm players due to its deep bass sound, enormous voice, and versatility. Session guitarists will love playing with other musicians as its dominant voice simply complements other guitar and instrument sounds.

Gibson Aesthetics

To provide an eye-catching appearance, the Gibson SJ-200 has a full host of decorative features which have been added to project its high-end design and quality construction. These features include a rosewood moustache bridge complemented by its antique natural finish, providing players with a classy high-quality look that is certain to look sublime whatever the setting. As well as this, the fingerboard is sprinkled with glistening mother of pearl crown inlays that will shimmer beautifully when caught by stage or natural lighting. Other ornate details include an authentic multi-stripe soundhole rosette, signature pickguard, and gold hardware. For added elegance Gibson's brand logo is inlaid in mother of pearl which stands out beautifully against the black headstock.
