Iconic jumbo design with rosewood warmth

The Gibson SJ-200 Standard Rosewood brings a fresh take to one of the most legendary acoustic guitars ever made. Known as the "King of the Flat-Tops," the SJ-200 has long been associated with its powerful projection and rich, balanced tone. While traditionally built with maple, this model revives the early rosewood versions, adding extra depth and warmth to its already commanding voice. The combination of a Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides results in a full-bodied sound with strong low-end response, sparkling highs, and plenty of dynamic range. From strumming big, open chords to delivering intricate fingerpicking, this guitar maintains clarity and articulation in every situation, making it an excellent choice for stage and studio performances.

L.R. Baggs Anthem pickup for studio-quality sound

When it's time to plug in, the Gibson SJ-200 Standard Rosewood is equipped with the L.R. Baggs Anthem system, one of the most highly regarded acoustic pickup systems available. Combining an under-saddle piezo pickup with a high-fidelity internal microphone, the Anthem system captures the natural tone of the guitar with incredible accuracy. The result is a dynamic and organic amplified sound that retains the guitar’s full character - from the stage to the studio, these pickups ensure your sound is always at its best. The discreetly mounted soundhole controls allow easy adjustment of volume, blend, and phase, ensuring optimal tone in any setting. Every nuance of your playing is heard, allowing for the ultimate expressive capabilities. You can play assured with the LR Baggs Anthem pickup, keeping your sound on top form every time you plug in.

Premium craftsmanship with elegant appointments

Gibson’s attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the SJ-200 Standard Rosewood. The two-bar moustache bridge, crafted from rosewood, enhances sustain and resonance while adding to the guitar’s distinctive aesthetic. The fretboard features beautiful mother-of-pearl graduated crown inlays, a signature design element of the SJ-200, adding a touch of vintage elegance. Multi-ply binding on the body and a single-ply binding on the fretboard and headstock provide a refined, polished look. Finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the Rosewood Burst colour enhances the natural grain of the wood, ensuring that this guitar looks as good as it sounds.

Gold Grover Imperial tuners for rock-solid stability

Tuning stability is crucial for any guitarist, and the Gibson SJ-200 Standard Rosewood is built to hold its pitch with precision. Featuring gold Grover Imperial tuners, this guitar not only exudes vintage charm but also provides rock-solid tuning reliability. The 18:1 gear ratio ensures smooth and accurate tuning adjustments, making it easy to dial in the perfect pitch for any performance. Combined with a TUSQ nut and saddle, the guitar offers excellent intonation and sustain, allowing every note to ring out with clarity. Whether playing long sets or switching between tunings, the SJ-200 remains stable, ensuring consistent performance every time you pick it up.
