Gibson Custom Historic 1957 SJ-200 - VS

Once again, Gibson celebrates "The King of the Flat-tops" with the 1957 SJ-200.

This Super Jumbo body acoustic features hand-selected maple for the back and sides, an ultra-vintage headstock "stinger," and a Thermally Aged Sitka spruce top. The solid spruce top is paired with beautiful flame maple back and sides for a stellar tonewood pairing that delivers big, rich tone and incredible volume.

A gorgeous 2-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard also offers impeccable playability and feel — ideal for flat-picking or big, wide-open strumming. Play the SJ-200 and you will know why it was a favorite among so many early rock and rollers. From Elvis to Keith Richards, the SJ-200 graced many stages and was front and center on numerous classic recordings.

Running up and down the entire length of the 1957 SJ-200's rosewood fingerboard are Gibson's mother-of-pearl Graduated Crown inlays, which are inserted using a special process that eliminates gaps without fillers. Equally stunning are the custom floral pickguard and iconic Four Bar Moustache bridge — truly iconic, stage-ready appointments that give the SJ-200 its unmistakable vibe and aesthetic appeal. A genuine bone nut and saddle also enhance tone.

Finally, the vintage headstock "stinger" on the back takes this 1957 SJ-200 into the deep pages of Gibson history when this feature was included on some of finest guitars. It's a feature that collectors and general enthusiasts will appreciate.
