Gibson SJ-200 Original Left-handed Electro Acoustic Guitar with Baggs HiFi DNA in Vintage Sunburst

The Gibson SJ-200 Original Left-handed in Vintage Sunburst brings the legendary King of the Flat-Tops to southpaw players, pairing its huge, unmistakable acoustic voice with the ultra-natural Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. With a solid Sitka spruce top, figured maple back and sides and classic SJ-200 detailing, it delivers the bold projection, shimmering clarity and commanding stage presence that have made this model a favourite across country, folk, rock and beyond.

Now equipped with Gibson’s exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system, this SJ-200 translates every nuance of your playing when amplified, preserving the guitar’s acoustic character while offering impressive feedback resistance. A comfortable rounded two-piece maple neck, rosewood fretboard with graduated crown inlays and a beautifully carved four-bar Moustache bridge complete a package that feels every bit as luxurious as it looks.

King of the Flat-Tops for Left-handed Players

Since 1937, the SJ-200 has set the standard for big-bodied acoustic tone and visual flair. This left-handed Original model gives southpaw players direct access to that heritage, with the same iconic SJ-200 body shape, deep low-end thump and sparkling top-end detail that have defined countless recordings and live performances. Its Vintage Sunburst finish and ornate appointments ensure it looks as impressive as it sounds.

Solid Sitka Spruce and Figured Maple Powerhouse

A solid Sitka spruce top paired with figured maple back and sides creates a bold, projecting voice with outstanding clarity and definition. Chords bloom with piano-like separation, while single notes cut through with focus and articulation. Whether you are strumming hard, flatpicking lines or playing more delicately, the SJ-200 Original responds with a wide dynamic range and a rich, balanced tonal spectrum.

Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup for Natural Amplified Tone

The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system uses two lightweight sensors mounted to the internal bridge plate, each with its own optimised preamp. This design captures the full character of the guitar, from the powerful low end to the finest harmonic detail, without compromising the unplugged sound. With gain-before-feedback performance comparable to an under-saddle pickup and discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls, it is ready for the stage or studio with minimal fuss.

Classic SJ-200 Aesthetic and Playability

Golden Era-inspired appointments and premium hardware underline the SJ-200’s reputation for sophistication. A gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish lets the guitar resonate freely while ageing gracefully. The two-piece maple neck with a rounded profile offers a comfortable, familiar feel, while the rosewood fretboard with mother-of-pearl graduated crown inlays and matching headstock inlays provide a timeless Gibson look. The engraved tortoiseshell-coloured SJ-200 pickguard and carved four-bar Moustache bridge in rosewood complete the unmistakable silhouette.

• Legendary SJ-200 Body and Voice - The large SJ-200 body shape delivers the commanding projection and rich, full-range tone that have made it a studio and stage staple for generations. Expect powerful lows, clear mids and a shimmering top end that sits perfectly in a mix.
• Solid Sitka Spruce Top with Figured Maple Back and Sides - A classic tonewood pairing that combines warmth and responsiveness with bright, focused clarity. The spruce top reacts dynamically to your touch, while the figured maple adds definition and a tight, controlled low end.
• Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup System - Dual bridge-plate sensors with individual preamps provide a rich, natural amplified sound that stays true to the guitar’s acoustic character. Soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls make it easy to dial in your tone without spoiling the clean look of the top.
• Premium Playability and Appointments - A comfortable rounded two-piece maple neck, rosewood fretboard with mother-of-pearl graduated crown inlays and gold Gotoh Keystone tuners combine smooth playability with rock-solid tuning stability. The engraved SJ-200 pickguard and four-bar Moustache bridge add unmistakable Gibson style.
