The Gibson SJ-200 is the world's most famous acoustic guitar and well deserves its designation as the "King of the Flat-Tops." Often made with a maple back and sides, the earliest examples were instead made with rosewood bodies. Now in 2024 Gibson proudly released the SJ-200 Standard Rosewood, bringing rosewood back to this highly acclaimed and cherished model. In addition to the rosewood back and sides, it features a Sitka spruce top, a mahogany neck with a comfortable round profile and a rosewood fretboard with graduated crown mother-of-pearl inlays, a two-bar moustache bridge, TUSQ bridge pins, saddle, and nut, and gold Grover Imperial tuners. It also comes equipped with the L.R. Baggs Anthem active under-saddle pickup and microphone system for superb studio-quality sound when plugged in, whether you're recording or playing live. Original Gibson hardshell case is included. All original Gibson paperwork and case candy included.

Mint Condition Like New, 2024 Model. In pristine, mint condition. No signs of wear or play.

Many of the same qualities that made the SJ-200 originally a favorite of singing cowboys have made it a desirable guitar for recording, live use, and general music-making merriment. Spruce and rosewood are a delightful pair of tonewoods, and they work wonders together as part of a jumbo body. Spruce is a balanced, bright, clear-sounding tonewood, and rosewood adds deep piano-like richness and glassy, sparkling trebles. The jumbo body size ensures that the SJ-200 Rosewood fills the room with rich, orchestral resonance while remaining articulate.

Players the world over fell in love with the SJ-200's spectacular tonality. It records like a dream (listen to "Pinball Wizard" by The Who, "Black Mountain Side" by Led Zeppelin, or "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles for proof), and its regal sound cuts through a mix like nobody's business while providing a solid foundation for other instruments to build upon.
