Selling my 2016 Gibson SJ-200 Standard in Antique Natural.

This is the sought-after 2016 spec featuring the L.R. Baggs Anthem pickup system, figured flame maple back and sides, solid Sitka spruce top, and its original Gibson hard case.

The guitar has been very well looked after and is in excellent condition. It has lived in a smoke-free home, has never been gigged, and has only been played occasionally at home.

It has recently been professionally set up by Peach Guitars and plays beautifully with a low, comfortable action. It is currently fitted with Stringjoy Naturals strings, which really suit the guitar and bring out the warmth and clarity of its tone.

Everything functions exactly as it should, including the L.R. Baggs Anthem electronics.

The SJ-200 is known as the “King of the Flat-Tops”, producing the huge, piano-like sound that has made it one of Gibson’s most iconic acoustics. It has incredible projection, rich bass and excellent note definition whether played acoustically or amplified.

Collection / Delivery

Collection only from Norwich, UK

Reason for sale: I simply don’t play it enough. It deserves to be owned by someone who’ll enjoy it regularly rather than spending most of its time in its case.
