2004 Gibson Elvis Presley SJ-200 (1956 Reissue) Acoustic Guitar w/COA & OHSC

Bay Area Vintage Guitars is proud to offer this exceptional 2004 Gibson Elvis Presley SJ-200 Limited Edition, serial number 00784034, #222 of only 250 produced worldwide. This beautiful guitar is from the collection of Night Ranger guitarist Brad Gillis.

Produced by Gibson's Bozeman, Montana acoustic division, this limited edition celebrates one of the most iconic performers in music history while showcasing everything that has made the SJ-200 Gibson's flagship acoustic for generations.

This example is a standout. The highly figured flame maple back, sides, and neck are beautifully matched, the Sitka spruce top has aged to a rich golden amber, and the guitar remains in outstanding collector condition. The distinctive mother-of-pearl ELVIS fingerboard inlays, custom Elvis-themed engraved pickguard, moustache bridge with pearl inlays, and gold Gibson Deluxe tuners make this one of Gibson's most recognizable modern limited editions.

More importantly, it delivers the unmistakable SJ-200 voice: deep, piano-like bass, powerful projection, articulate highs, and exceptional balance whether played fingerstyle or with a flatpick.

With only 250 examples produced, these rarely become available, particularly in this level of preservation.

Why Buy From Bay Area Vintage Guitars?

Every instrument we sell is carefully inspected, accurately represented, professionally packed, and fully insured for shipment. We specialize in premium vintage and collectible guitars with an emphasis on originality, condition, and transparency.

A Note About Instrument Setup 

Guitars and basses are sensitive to changes in temperature, humidity, and movement during shipping. An instrument that is properly set up when it leaves us may arrive with slight changes to the action, neck relief, tuning, or intonation.

These changes are normal as wood adjusts to a new environment. We recommend allowing the instrument to acclimate after delivery before making any adjustments.

Because setup preferences vary by player, minor adjustments or a personal setup may be desired after arrival. If needed, we recommend having the instrument set up by a qualified local guitar technician. Any post-delivery setup or adjustment costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

Shipping:

All guitars are professionally packed with extreme care and fully insured. We ship promptly and communicate throughout the process.

Please note that vintage guitars may require minor setup adjustments upon arrival due to changes in climate and humidity during shipping. This is completely normal and expected with vintage instruments.

International buyers are welcome. Please contact us prior to purchase for an accurate shipping quote.
