Full Description
View Full DescriptionA legendary acoustic with the character of koa
The SJ-200 Elegant Koa reimagines one of Gibson's most iconic acoustic guitars with the distinctive voice and visual appeal of premium koa. AAA Sitka spruce is paired with beautifully figured koa back and sides to produce exceptional articulation, sparkling top-end clarity and impressive warmth that continues to develop over time. Renowned for its balanced response and striking appearance, koa gives this Artisan Series model a unique personality while preserving the bold projection and expansive tonal character that have earned the SJ-200 its legendary reputation.
Exceptional craftsmanship in every detail
Every aspect of the SJ-200 Elegant Koa reflects Gibson Custom's commitment to premium craftsmanship. A three-rope marquetry centre strip enhances the koa back, while abalone graduated crown inlays adorn the bound rosewood fingerboard. Matching abalone Gibson and crown headstock inlays, gold-plated Grover Rotomatic tuners and a distinctive tortoiseshell SJ-200 pickguard with abalone dot inlays and a silver foil stamp complete an instrument that is every bit as impressive visually as it is sonically.
Designed for effortless performance
A mahogany neck carved to a comfortable Round profile provides a reassuringly familiar feel, making extended practice sessions and performances comfortable and enjoyable. The rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth playing surface across all 20 frets, while the traditional dovetail neck joint contributes to the guitar's outstanding resonance and sustain. Premium appointments including a rosewood two-bar moustache bridge, TUSQ nut, saddle and bridge pins maximise tonal transfer, helping every note ring with clarity and definition.
Professional electronics for stage and studio
Equipped with the L.R. Baggs Anthem system, the SJ-200 Elegant Koa is ready for demanding live and studio applications. Combining an undersaddle Element pickup with an internal microphone and onboard preamp, it delivers a natural amplified sound that captures the instrument's full dynamic range. Convenient soundhole-mounted controls for volume, mix, phase and battery check remain discreet while providing quick access whenever adjustments are needed. A Gibson Custom hardshell case completes the package for dependable protection wherever you play.
