A premium tone with superb volume. Thanks to all the extra room for the sound to reverberate around the body the SJ-200 is adored for its big sound. All acoustic performers love Gibson's super jumbo size, particularly rhythm players, because of its deep bass sound, enormous voice, and versatility. You’ll love playing with other musicians too. Its dominant character complements other instruments while also standing out boldly. And its melodic and defined acoustic tone is ideal for songwriting and accompanying singing.
A versatile partnership
It doesn't matter what your style is. Because Gibson have given you the tools to take on any genre. A flame maple back and sides gives you an unmistakably premium tone that responds to any playing technique. And a sparkling edge comes from the thermally aged Sitka spruce top. The more you play an acoustic guitar, the more the wood's grains open, releasing a mature sound that will embellish your signature into anything you play. That's what this spruce top does. Think of the quintessential Gibson acoustic sound at its very best. Now think what you could do with it.
Smooth playability
Constructed from maple, the SJ-200's neck offers a dynamic, bright tone with excellent bite and sustain. It’s crystal clear clarity that you'll fall in love with. Crafted into a rounded profile, it fits perfectly into the palm of your hand, preventing cramping and offering sublime comfort throughout long practice sessions This smooth-playing neck also offers a natural resonance to the guitar's tone, responding to every personal nuance. And it’s topped with a rosewood fingerboard. This supreme fretboard material adds even more comfort letting your skills blossom like you’ve never experienced before.
Gibson Quality
If there's one thing Gibson do well, it's making acoustics that sound phenomenal. Through decades of quality, they have become one of the acoustic masters of our generation and this is no different with the 1957 SJ-200. In fact, their very sound bellows from it. Investing in a Gibson isn't just purchasing a guitar, it's believing in yourself and the power of music through top quality materials and carefully thought out craftsmanship. It's something that could make a huge difference to your sound and performance.
