Full Bodied Jumbo with Balanced Tone

The Gibson SJ-200 made its debut in 1937 as the Super Jumbo, and with its iconic Super Jumbo body and impressive projection, it continues to make a statement unlike any other acoustic guitar. From country to folk to rock ‘n’ roll, numerous legendary musicians have chosen the SJ-200 to create some of the world’s most cherished music. Now, Gibson is proud to introduce the updated SJ-200 Studio Walnut.

Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, the SJ-200 Studio Walnut features all-solid tonewoods, including a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer-finished Sitka spruce top for a wide dynamic range, responsiveness, and a balanced tone. The satin-finished walnut used for the back and sides produces a warm, balanced, and detailed tone that sits between maple and rosewood in
its timbre.

The full-depth body of the SJ-200 Studio Walnut delivers the deep, rich tone and exceptional volume and projection the model is known for. It also features an Advanced Response neck profile and a satin nitrocellulose lacquer-finished utility neck, providing smooth, easy playability. The Advanced Response neck is designed to be the perfect middle ground—not too large or too thin—making it comfortable for a wide range of players.

The walnut fretboard has 20 standard-sized frets and is inlaid with classic mother-of-pearl graduated crown markers, a signature visual element of the classic SJ-200 design. The 16” fretboard radius enhances playability, making fast passages effortless and contributing to the overall ease of playing. You’ll find yourself reaching for this guitar over and over because it’s just so enjoyable to play.

Equipped with smooth-turning Grover Rotomatic tuning machines and a GraphTech TUSQ nut, the headstock ensures reliable tuning stability so you can focus on playing rather than tuning. The saddle and bridge pins on the walnut bridge plate are also made from TUSQ. For seamless plug-and-play performance, the SJ-200 Studio Walnut comes with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze active under-saddle piezo pickup, complete with a soundhole-mounted volume control for quick adjustments.

Packaged in a modern hardshell case for portability and protection, the SJ-200 Studio Walnut is ready to accompany you wherever your music takes you.
