Gibson SJ-200 Original Electro Acoustic Guitar with Baggs HiFi DNA in Antique Natural

The Gibson SJ-200 Original Electro Acoustic in Antique Natural continues the legacy of the King of the Flat Tops, now with a powerful modern twist. Marrying its iconic jumbo body, solid Sitka spruce top and figured maple back and sides with the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, it delivers the unmistakable SJ-200 voice both unplugged and on stage. From delicate fingerstyle to bold, strummed anthems, it offers huge projection, rich detail and a beautifully natural amplified sound.

Since 1937, the SJ-200 has been a go-to for artists across country, folk, rock, film and television, thanks to its commanding tone and instantly recognisable silhouette. This Original model stays true to that heritage with Golden Era inspired appointments, a gloss nitrocellulose finish and ornate detailing, while the Baggs HiFi DNA system captures every nuance of your playing with impressive feedback resistance and clarity.

A two-piece maple neck with a comfortable Rounded profile and rosewood fretboard feels reassuringly solid yet inviting, making long sessions a pleasure. Mother-of-pearl graduated crown inlays, an engraved SJ-200 pickguard and the carved four-bar Moustache bridge complete a look that is as refined as it is legendary. Whether you are recording, touring or simply looking for a lifetime acoustic, this SJ-200 Original offers a blend of tradition and technology that is hard to beat.

Iconic Jumbo Power and Presence

The SJ-200 body shape, solid Sitka spruce top and figured maple back and sides combine to produce a bold, projecting voice with exceptional clarity. Chords sound huge and orchestral, while single notes cut through with definition, making it ideal for singer-songwriters and players who need an acoustic that can fill a room with ease.

Golden Era Inspired Elegance

Multi-ply body binding, gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, gold hardware and classic SJ-200 detailing give this guitar a timeless, high-end aesthetic. From the engraved tortoiseshell-coloured pickguard to the four-bar Moustache bridge, every visual element pays homage to Gibson's Golden Era designs while maintaining the unmistakable identity of the SJ-200.

Comfortable Maple Neck and Rosewood Fretboard

The two-piece maple neck with a Rounded profile offers a familiar, comfortable feel that suits both strumming and intricate fingerstyle work. A rosewood fretboard with 20 frets and mother-of-pearl graduated crown inlays not only looks stunning but also provides a smooth playing surface that encourages expressive bends, vibrato and dynamic playing.

Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup System

The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system uses twin lightweight sensors on the internal bridge plate with individually voiced preamps to deliver a rich, natural amplified tone. It preserves the guitar's acoustic character, offers gain-before-feedback performance comparable to an under-saddle pickup, and features discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls for quick, intuitive adjustments on stage.

• Solid Sitka Spruce Top with Figured Maple Back and Sides - This classic tonewood pairing delivers a powerful, articulate voice with plenty of headroom. The spruce top responds dynamically to your touch, while the maple back and sides add clarity and focus, ensuring your playing remains defined even in dense mixes.
• Gibson Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup System - The active dual-sensor design captures the full character of the SJ-200 with impressive realism. Individually optimised preamps and soundhole-mounted controls give you a natural, feedback-resistant amplified sound that is easy to shape mid-performance.
• Golden Era Styling and Detailing - Multi-ply binding, gloss nitrocellulose finish, engraved SJ-200 pickguard and the carved four-bar Moustache bridge create a visually striking instrument. These appointments not only honour the model's heritage but also give you a stage-ready guitar with unmistakable vintage-inspired flair.
• Comfortable Rounded Neck Profile - The two-piece maple neck with a Rounded profile and rosewood fretboard offers a reassuringly solid yet comfortable feel. Combined with a 25.5 inch scale length and 20 frets, it provides a familiar playing experience that suits a wide range of styles and techniques.
