Gibson SJ-200 Standard Left-handed Electro Acoustic Guitar with Baggs HiFi DNA in Tri-Burst

The Gibson SJ-200 Standard Left-handed keeps the legendary King of the Flat Tops alive for southpaw players, pairing its iconic Super Jumbo looks and huge acoustic voice with discreet modern electronics. With a stunning AAA flame maple body, AAA Sitka spruce top and Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, this Tri-Burst beauty is equally at home on stage, in the studio or as the centrepiece of your collection.

From its first appearance in 1937, the SJ-200 has been the go-to acoustic for players who need massive projection, rich low end and a commanding visual presence. This latest left-handed Standard model stays true to that heritage with traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing, a classic two-bar Moustache bridge and graduated crown inlays, while the comfortable Rounded neck profile and smooth Indian rosewood fingerboard make it feel instantly familiar in the hands.

Premium details run right through the build. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer allows the woods to breathe and age gracefully, the TUSQ nut, saddle and bridge pins maximise resonance and tuning stability, and gold Grover Rotomatic tuners provide rock-solid performance with a touch of vintage class. Finished in a striking Tri-Burst with the signature SJ-200 floral pickguard, this is a guitar that looks as big as it sounds.

For live work and recording, the factory-fitted Baggs HiFi DNA system delivers a natural, dynamic amplified tone that captures the SJ-200’s depth and sparkle without fuss. Simple soundhole-mounted controls keep everything within easy reach while preserving the guitar’s classic appearance. If you are a left-handed player looking for a world-famous acoustic that can handle songwriting, strumming and solo performance with equal authority, the SJ-200 Standard Left-handed is built to be your lifelong companion.

Iconic Super Jumbo Power for Left-handed Players

The SJ-200’s Super Jumbo body shape, crafted from AAA flame maple with a AAA Sitka spruce top, produces the huge, piano-like low end and shimmering highs that have made this model a studio and stage staple for decades. As a true left-handed build, southpaw players get the full, authentic SJ-200 experience without compromise.

Premium Tonewoods and Traditional Bracing

AAA Sitka spruce paired with AAA flame maple back and sides, supported by traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing, gives this guitar exceptional projection, clarity and balance. Chords remain articulate even at high volume, while single-note lines cut through a mix with ease, making it ideal for everything from delicate fingerstyle to big, open strumming.

Comfortable Two-piece Maple Neck with Rosewood Fingerboard

The two-piece maple neck with walnut stringer and Rounded profile offers a solid, reassuring feel without being bulky. Combined with the 12 inch radius Indian rosewood fingerboard and 25.5 inch scale length, it provides a smooth playing surface for complex chords, wide bends and extended sessions, helping you stay comfortable whether you are writing, rehearsing or performing.

Baggs HiFi DNA Electronics for Stage and Studio

The Baggs HiFi DNA pickup and preamp system captures the natural character of the SJ-200 with impressive realism, giving you a clear, dynamic sound when plugged in. Soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls make it easy to dial in your mix on the fly, so you can move confidently between rehearsal room, studio and stage without sacrificing your core acoustic tone.
