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. You will love playing with other musicians, as its dominant character simply complements other instruments and stands out boldly within a live mix. Singer/songwriters, you will also love its melodic and defined acoustic voice, giving your solo album hint of Gibson's living legacy.

Famed Sound with a Premium Quality

The J-200 Standard only sounds better with age. Constructed with a range of premium tonewoods and the best possible materials available, the J-200 2019 delivers a distinct and iconic Gibson tone. The J-200 Standard features a sitka spruce top which delivers a broad dynamic range, and a sound that develops character over its life. This allows you to achieve a wide variety of genres and playing styles from country and pop to rock and blues.

The J-200's beautiful top is accompanied by maple back and sides. Maple offers clear note clarity and definition. Maple also delivers a considerable amount of treble blended with a sparkly tone that simply can't be replicated. Versatile with a bright attack, you can achieve delicate and defined picking, although when strummed more aggressively you experience a rich, bright, and bold sound. A clear, balanced tone with a distinctive character, and an iconic past.

A Clear and Defined Live Performance

Control and blend with a variety of tonal options. The LR Baggs Anthem and the J-200 together allow you to perform live with a sound that you'll easily mistake for a mic'd up studio tone. Combining a condenser mic, TRU-MIC technology, and LR Baggs' popular Element pickup, LR Baggs bring you the sonic-warmth of a studio mic'd performance wherever you play.

Additionally, the revolutionary electronics are mounted and engineered to ensure incredible feedback suppression for stage-use. You can also blend, control, and mix the TRU-MIC technology and the Element pickup with ease. Overall, the LR Baggs Anthem captures the magic of your guitar's natural acoustic tone. Offering a live sound that is faithful to your beautiful acoustic voice. Stage ready. All the J-200 needs is you.

Smooth Gibson Playability

Constructed from maple, the J-200's neck offers a dynamic, bright tonality with excellent bit and sustain. It also offers crystal clear clarity that you're certain to adore. Additionally, the silky smooth action complements the maple to unleash your full potential. This smooth-playing maple neck also offers a natural resonance to the guitar's tone - distinctive and beautiful. In addition, the neck features a rounded profile, offering comfort with an authentic Gibson feel. Its rounded profile also fits perfectly into the palm of your fretting hand, preventing cramping and offering sublime comfort throughout long practice sessions.

For added aesthetic appeal, the J-200 features instantly recognisable mother of pearl graduated crown inlays.

Traditional Hand-Scalloped X-Bracing
