Gibson SJ-200 '60s Original Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Vintage Sunburst
Reigning over the acoustic kingdom forever more, we have the king-sized Gibson SJ-200 '60s Original in a bright Vintage Sunburst. The SJ-200, a monumental model in its time and any time, features a retro-inspired lineup of specifications to throw it back to one of the model's most celebrated eras – the 1960s. This jumbo acoustic stakes a claim for the throne in our era with all the '60s style and sound that originally came along with it.
Since its inaugural appearance in 1937, the SJ-200 has been hailed as Gibson's "King of the Flat-Tops." Its imposing size and formidable voice to match have made it the pick of players looking to command a stage and make a statement from George Harrison to Jimmy Page. Today's SJ-200 '60s Original brings much of that same thunder to the modern player with plenty of '60s authenticity to keep the legacy strong.
Starting at the beginning – a very good place to start – the SJ-200 '60s Original features AAA figured maple back and sides with a solid AAA Sitka spruce top. These two tonewoods, combined with the guitar's large-and-in-charge SJ-200 Super Jumbo body make for a powerfully expressive sonic profile to fill a room with rich, chiming Gibson acoustic tones. Five-ply top and three-ply back binding rounds the edges of this SJ's body for a bright, geometric accent alongside Gibson's vintage-inspired nitrocellulose lacquer finish.
Joining its body, this SJ-200 brings on a two-piece maple neck with a walnut stringer running down its length. This neck, assuming a Round profile for an authentic '60s grip in hand, moves smoothly from higher to lower registers with a rosewood fingerboard complementing the fingers. The SJ-200 '60s Original's rosewood board features twenty standard-sized frets and another retro point of authenticity: Mother of Pearl Graduated Crown inlays. Fast and fluid despite the Jumbo body and Round profile, the SJ-200 '60s Original is an instrument made for all kinds of music.
This whole Jumbo experience is backed up with a reliable set of hardware specifications. For one, strings are grounded across the scale length with a solid rosewood Moustache bridge adorned with Mother of Pearl Hourglass and Teardrop inlays at one end and a narrower bone nut at the other end. Gold Grover Rotomatic tuning machines ensure easy stringing past the nut and steady intonation totally. This SJ-200 '60s Original comes equipped with L.R. Baggs VTC electronics with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls for quickly translating its tones to the stage or studio. Perfect for those performance venues, this Gibson SJ-200 '60s Original travels with an included hardshell case.
The king continues its reign all these years later with this all-new SJ-200 '60s Original. Hail to the king, baby.
