Gibson SJ-200 Standard Rosewood Electro Acoustic Guitar with Baggs HiFi DNA in Rosewood Burst

The Gibson SJ-200 Standard Rosewood Electro Acoustic in Rosewood Burst brings a classic tonewood pairing back to the legendary King of the Flat-Tops. Combining rosewood back and sides with a Sitka spruce top and Gibson’s exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, it delivers huge, authoritative acoustic tone that translates beautifully on stage and in the studio, with every nuance of your playing captured when you plug in.

From cowboy crooners and country icons to folk heroes and rock legends, the SJ-200 has been a fixture on records and stages for decades. This Rosewood Standard model continues that legacy with a richer low-end response than its maple-bodied counterpart, while retaining the unmistakable power, projection and visual presence that have made the Super Jumbo a true icon.

Visually, the Rosewood Burst finish, multi-ply binding and classic SJ-200 pickguard frame the guitar’s imposing silhouette, while gold Grover Imperial tuners and the two-bar rosewood Moustache bridge complete the timeless look. Under the gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, traditional hand-scalloped X bracing and quality tonewoods ensure a bold, open voice that will only improve as the guitar is played.

The comfortable Rounded mahogany neck and bound Indian rosewood fretboard make extended sessions a pleasure, with a familiar 25.5 inch scale length, 12 inch radius and mother of pearl graduated crown inlays guiding your way. Whether you are strumming big open chords, flatpicking lines or fingerpicking intricate arrangements, the SJ-200 Standard Rosewood offers a responsive, expressive feel that rewards a dynamic touch.

Rosewood Power with Super Jumbo Projection

By pairing rosewood back and sides with a Sitka spruce top and traditional hand-scalloped X bracing, this SJ-200 delivers a bold, room-filling voice with enhanced bass depth and warmth. Compared with the maple-bodied SJ-200 Standard, the rosewood construction offers a richer low end and complex overtones, while the Super Jumbo body shape retains the classic punch and projection that cuts through any mix.

Baggs HiFi DNA Electro Acoustic Clarity

Inside, the Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system uses two lightweight sensors on the internal bridge plate, each with its own optimised preamp. This design captures the full-bodied acoustic character of the guitar with impressive gain-before-feedback, giving you a natural, dynamic amplified sound with minimal visual impact. Discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls keep adjustments within easy reach while remaining almost invisible to your audience.

Comfortable Neck and Premium Playability

The mahogany neck with its Rounded profile offers a familiar, hand-filling feel that suits both chord work and single-note lines. A bound Indian rosewood fretboard with a 12 inch radius and 20 standard frets provides a smooth playing surface, while the compound dovetail neck joint set with hot hide glue maximises resonance and sustain. Mother of pearl graduated crown inlays add a touch of classic Gibson elegance.

Iconic SJ-200 Appointments

Every inch of this guitar reflects its heritage, from the ornate SJ-200 pickguard to the two-bar rosewood Moustache bridge with TUSQ saddle and pins. Multi-ply binding on the top and back, a bound headstock with Gibson logo and crown inlays, and gold Grover Imperial tuners complete a look that is instantly recognisable on any stage. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only looks stunning but also allows the guitar to resonate freely.

• Rosewood Back and Sides with Sitka Spruce Top - This classic tonewood pairing delivers a powerful, harmonically rich voice with strong low-end presence and clear highs. The rosewood body adds depth and warmth, while the Sitka spruce top provides articulation and dynamic range, making the guitar equally at home in delicate fingerstyle or hard strumming.
• Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA System - Dual bridge-plate sensors with individual preamps capture the guitar’s natural acoustic character with impressive clarity and realism. The system offers comparable gain-before-feedback to an under-saddle pickup, so you can play louder on stage while retaining a full, organic tone.
• Comfortable Rounded Neck with Bound Rosewood Fretboard - The mahogany neck’s Rounded profile feels substantial yet easy to play, supporting both rhythm and lead work. A bound Indian rosewood fretboard with a 12 inch radius and mother of pearl crown inlays ensures smooth fretting and a premium playing experience.
• Iconic SJ-200 Styling and Hardware - From the ornate SJ-200 pickguard and two-bar Moustache bridge to the gold Grover Imperial tuners and multi-ply binding, this model carries all the visual hallmarks of the King of the Flat-Tops. These appointments not only look stunning under stage lights but also contribute to stable tuning and reliable performance.
