Iconic design with a bold presence
The Gibson SJ-200 Standard is a guitar with legendary status, instantly recognisable for its commanding Super Jumbo body shape and elegant detailing. From its origins in 1937, the SJ-200 has been known as the “King of the Flat-Tops” for good reason—its size, aesthetic, and tonal power set it apart from anything else on the market. This modern version proudly carries that legacy forward with an unmistakable Wine Red gloss finish, ornate multi-ply binding, and a beautifully engraved cream pickguard. It stands out with vintage charm and a modern edge - perfect if you're after an acoustic that packs a punch.
Premium tonewoods and exquisite build quality
Every detail of the SJ-200 Standard reflects Gibson’s expert craftsmanship. Its AAA Sitka spruce top offers outstanding clarity and responsiveness, while the AAA flame maple back and sides add brilliance and tight projection to your tone. The 2-piece maple neck ensures strength and stability, while a smooth Indian rosewood fingerboard with graduated mother-of-pearl crown inlays provides a luxurious playing experience. Traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing supports the top, enhancing the guitar’s tonal depth, sustain, and dynamic range. From complex fingerstyle arrangements to bold strumming, the SJ-200 responds with a balanced, articulate voice that holds its own in any playing scenario.
Studio-quality tone with L.R. Baggs Anthem
With its onboard L.R. Baggs Anthem pickup and mic system, the SJ-200 Standard is fully equipped for both stage use and recording. Unlike typical undersaddle pickups that can sound artificial or brittle, the Anthem system combines a high-fidelity internal microphone with a piezo element, giving you a rich amplified tone. The soundhole-mounted controls let you blend the two sources, adjust volume, and switch phase to shape your sound with precision. There’s also a battery check and mic level trim to fine-tune your setup. Plug into a PA, interface, or acoustic amp and enjoy authentic, warm tone that preserves every nuance of your playing.
Elegance and functionality in every detail
Every element of the SJ-200’s hardware has been chosen for both looks and performance. Gold Grover Rotomatic tuners provide rock-solid tuning stability and a luxurious aesthetic, while the rosewood moustache bridge adds classic character and strong tonal transfer. The TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins ensure consistent performance and enhanced sustain across all strings. Matching gold strap buttons complete the refined presentation. It’s this attention to functional beauty that elevates the SJ-200 - every component is built to enhance your tone and playing experience.
