Description
The Gibson SJ-200, affectionately known as the "King of Flat-Tops," has been the choice of countless musicians for decades, courtesy of its robust, powerful sound and stately presence. The SJ-200 Pre-War Rosewood revisits the zenith of Gibson's acoustic craftsmanship, offering a sound and style that echoes the revered "Pre-War" Gibson models of the 1930s. Ideal for performers, collectors, and Gibson purists alike, this guitar is the embodiment of acoustic perfection.
Crafted with a rosewood body and a thermally aged red spruce top, the SJ-200 Pre-War boasts an explosive voice - this beauty packs a punch and has a delightfully broken-in sound to boot. Thanks to its elegant tonewood pairing and Super Jumbo body, players can expect exceptional clarity and projection with every strum, along with deep lows and bright, sparkling highs. Additionally, a bone nut and saddle enhance resonance for a fuller, richer sound.
Aside from its killer tone, the Gibson SJ-200 Pre-War plays with a classic, comfortable feel that'll keep musicians coming back for more. Its round "D" shaped neck has a nice, slightly chunky feel, while its smooth ebony fingerboard invites your fingers to glide across all 20 frets with ease. Guitarists will also love its Grover Imperial tuners and Four Bar Mustache bridge, which not only look elegant but ensure rock-solid tuning stability and intonation.
Decorated with mother-of-pearl graduated crown inlays, a vintage sunburst finish, and an eye-catching pickguard, the Gibson SJ-200 Pre-War is a '30s-inspired masterpiece with an unbelievable sound. Act now and own a piece of guitar history that transcends time and tradition!
