Gibson SJ-200 Acoustic Guitars

The Gibson SJ-200 (Super Jumbo 200) acoustic guitar was one of Gibson’s earliest flat-top guitars, introduced in 1937. Originally launched as the J-200, boasting a much bigger, curvier body shape than other guitars on the market. This gave it a unique booming tonal character, and it took a bit of taming to play!

Not dissimilar to other guitars in the Gibson lineup, the SJ-200 has seen a number of design tweaks over the years, but its primary traits have remained the same. Maple back and sides give it a brightness and clarity, and Sitka Spruce allows warm sustain. The result is a balanced but weighty tone that suits hard hitters and more rhythmic players alike.
