Full Description
View Full DescriptionSuper Jumbo tone and projection
The Gibson Acoustic SJ-200 Custom is built with a Super Jumbo body that has defined the sound and presence of the “King of the Flat-tops” since 1937. With its commanding size, the SJ-200 projects with clarity and power, delivering full-spectrum tone that fills any room. The large body amplifies both the low-end warmth and high-end shimmer, making this an instrument that stands out in solo performances or within dense band mixes. From strumming open chords to picking intricate lines, every note benefits from rich sustain and powerful dynamics. It’s a tonal powerhouse crafted for those who need presence on stage and personality in the studio.
Premium tonewoods for stunning sound
At the heart of the SJ-200 Custom’s signature voice are its carefully selected tonewoods. The top is crafted from Sitka spruce, known for its perfect balance of strength and elasticity, which translates into dynamic range and articulation across all playing styles. The back and sides are made from beautifully figured flamed maple, a tonewood that provides a bright, focused sound with plenty of projection. This combination yields a balanced voice with crisp treble, tight lows, and a clear midrange that doesn’t get lost in the mix. These woods aren’t just chosen for their sonic qualities—they provide stunning visual appeal, with the flame maple giving the guitar a distinctive, premium look from every angle.
Les Paul Custom-inspired aesthetics
Visually, the SJ-200 Custom takes inspiration from Gibson’s legendary Les Paul Custom, elevating the guitar’s look with deluxe appointments and a touch of electric-guitar glamour. The body is finished in a deep Ebony gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, echoing the sleek style of the Les Paul Custom. Multi-ply binding around the top, back, and headstock adds both elegance and durability, while the bound ebony fretboard features mother of pearl Custom Block inlays that lend a bold, art-deco character to the neck. A split diamond headstock inlay completes the luxurious aesthetic, giving the SJ-200 Custom a regal identity that’s unmistakably Gibson. Every element has been chosen to honour tradition while adding a distinctive, upscale flair.
Stage-ready electronics with L.R. Baggs
The SJ-200 Custom isn’t just built for show—it’s built for performance. Fitted with L.R. Baggs Session VTC electronics, this guitar is ready to shine on stage or in the studio. The system captures the natural warmth and resonance of the guitar with remarkable fidelity, using studio-grade circuitry to ensure minimal noise and exceptional clarity. Discreet soundhole-mounted controls for volume and tone give you intuitive command over your sound without disrupting the guitar’s vintage look. Plug into an acoustic amp, DI box, or PA system and you’ll get a warm, articulate tone that retains all the nuance and dynamics of your playing style.
Custom craftsmanship and reliable hardware
Every aspect of the SJ-200 Custom is crafted with attention to detail and premium materials to ensure a professional playing experience. The neck is made from a two-piece maple design with a walnut centre strip for added strength and stability, joined to the body using Gibson’s traditional compound dovetail joint and hot hide glue for optimum resonance transfer. The ebony fingerboard not only adds to the guitar’s luxurious feel but also provides smooth, fast playability. Grover Rotomatic tuners offer precise, stable tuning, while a bone nut and saddle enhance tone and sustain. The moustache-style SJ-200 bridge, brass bridge pins, and custom truss rod cover further emphasise the hand-built quality and aesthetic care that go into every instrument. Supplied with a durable hardshell case, this SJ-200 Custom is ready to go wherever the music takes you.
