Gibson SJ-200 Standard Left-handed Electro Acoustic Guitar in Classic White

Please note: the images depict the right-handed model, while this is the left-handed version.

The Gibson SJ-200 Standard Left-handed in Classic White brings the legendary King of the Flat-Tops to southpaws, pairing its unmistakable Super Jumbo presence with a powerful, modern electro-acoustic voice. With AAA figured maple back and sides, an AAA Sitka spruce top and the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, it delivers huge, piano-like lows, sparkling highs and exceptional clarity whether unplugged or amplified.

From cowboy crooners and country icons to folk heroes and rock royalty, the SJ-200 has been a studio and stage staple since 1937. This latest left-handed Standard model continues that legacy with premium tonewoods, classic SJ-200 appointments and a beautifully smooth Rounded neck profile, all wrapped in a striking gloss nitrocellulose Classic White finish that looks every bit as big as it sounds.

Iconic Super Jumbo Tone and Presence

The SJ-200 Standard is built around Gibson’s famous Super Jumbo body shape, offering a bold, room-filling acoustic voice with outstanding projection. AAA figured maple back and sides combine with an AAA Sitka spruce top and traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing to produce a powerful low end, clear mids and shimmering highs that sit perfectly in a mix. Whether you are strumming big open chords or playing intricate fingerstyle, every note rings with authority and balance.

Left-handed Playability with a Classic Feel

Designed specifically for left-handed players, this SJ-200 Standard features a two-piece maple neck with a walnut stringer for added strength and visual flair. The comfortable Rounded profile feels instantly familiar, while the bound Indian rosewood fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and 20 standard frets offers a smooth, effortless playing surface. The 25.5 inch scale length and 43.82 mm TUSQ nut provide a reassuringly solid feel and precise intonation across the neck.

Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup System

Inside, the SJ-200 Standard is equipped with the Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup and preamp system. Two lightweight sensors mounted on the internal bridge plate are each matched with their own optimised preamp, capturing the full character of the guitar with impressive realism when amplified. The system delivers a full-bodied acoustic tone with comparable gain-before-feedback to an under-saddle pickup, while having no impact on the natural, unplugged sound. Discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls keep everything within easy reach without spoiling the classic look.

Luxurious Details and Rock-solid Hardware

Every visual hallmark of the SJ-200 is here, from the ornate cream pickguard with floral design and border to the two-bar Moustache rosewood bridge with mother of pearl inlays. The bound headstock carries the Gibson logo and crown in mother of pearl, complemented by gold Grover Rotomatic tuners for smooth, reliable tuning. A low-friction TUSQ nut, TUSQ saddle and TUSQ bridge pins work together to maximise sustain and tonal consistency, while the gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish lets the guitar resonate freely and age gracefully.

• AAA Figured Maple Body with AAA Sitka Spruce Top - The combination of AAA flame maple back and sides with an AAA Sitka spruce top delivers the classic SJ-200 voice: huge, piano-like lows, clear mids and brilliant highs with superb projection. Traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing allows the top to move freely, giving you a dynamic, responsive instrument that excels for both strumming and fingerstyle.
• Left-handed Super Jumbo with Rounded Neck Profile - Purpose-built for left-handed players, this Super Jumbo body offers unmatched acoustic volume and presence. The two-piece maple neck with walnut stringer and Rounded profile provides a comfortable, vintage-inspired feel, while the bound Indian rosewood fingerboard with a 12 inch radius ensures smooth playability for chords, leads and everything in between.
• Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup and Preamp System - The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system uses dual bridge-plate sensors and individual preamps to capture the guitar’s natural acoustic character with impressive realism. You get a full, rich amplified tone with excellent resistance to feedback, plus intuitive soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls that are easy to access while remaining almost invisible to your audience.
• Classic SJ-200 Appointments and Premium Hardware - From the iconic cream SJ-200 pickguard with floral artwork to the two-bar Moustache bridge with mother of pearl inlays, this guitar is instantly recognisable on any stage. Gold Grover Rotomatic tuners, a TUSQ nut, TUSQ saddle and TUSQ bridge pins ensure stable tuning, consistent tone and long-lasting sustain, while the gloss nitrocellulose Classic White finish completes a truly luxurious aesthetic.
