Gibson SJ-200 Standard 2018 Left Handed, Vintage Sunburst

Full Description

Quality Sitka Spruce & Maple Construction

With a stunning sitka spruce top and maple back and sides, this super jumbo delivers versatility and a bright attack that plays well within many different genres, from rock to country to pop. The sitka spruce top offers a sparkling high response and tight, clear attack perfect for pronounced players. The wood itself is quite elastic in nature, which resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm midi-range, and bright sparkling highs. Its sitka spruce top is accompanied by maple back and sides which ensure the sound is beautifully balanced, producing a very loud and bright tone. Maple offers clear note clarity and definition and will provides a considerable amount of treble blended with a sparkly tone that others simply can't replicate.

Maple Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

The Gibson SJ-200 features a neck that has been constructed from maple, offering note clarity that players will adore. A maple neck provides durability and a natural resonance across the whole guitar. The neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard that produces warmth and a bright sizzling-sparkle that really shines through when using fingerpicking techniques. The rosewood fingerboard also offers a smooth and energetic playing experience. The fingerboard is sprinkled with mother of pearl crown inlays for added elegance.

Iconic Super Jumbo Body Shape

Gibson's SJ-200 features a super jumbo body shape, offering superb projection due to all the extra room for the sound to reverberate around the body. The super jumbo shape is often found in the hands of musicians such as Noel Gallagher and Bob Dylan, purely because of the sheer volume projected that simply can't be recreated from a smaller bodied guitar. The super jumbo size is better suited to players with a longer reach and those more comfortable with bigger bodied guitars. Over the years players quickly took to Gibson's super jumbo size, particularly rhythm players due to its deep bass sound, enormous voice, and versatility. Session guitarists will love playing with other musicians as its dominant voice simply complements other guitar and instrument sounds.

Gibson Aesthetics

To provide an eye-catching appearance the Gibson SJ-200 has a full host of decorative features which have been added to project its high-end design and quality construction. These features include a rosewood moustache bridge complemented by its vintage sunburst colour, providing players with a classy high-quality finish. The fingerboard is sprinkled with glistening mother of pearl crown inlays that will shimmer beautifully when caught by stage or natural lighting. Other ornate details include an authentic multi-stripe sound-hole rosette and gold hardware. For added elegance Gibson's signature brand name is inlaid with mother of pearl which stands out mightily against the black headstock.

LR Baggs Anthem Pickup Provides Amplified Acoustic Sound

The Gibson SJ-200 comes equipped with a sound-hole mounted pickup, providing a stage-ready setup for the gigging guitarist. The LR Baggs Anthem pickup features master volume control, mix control for mic and pickup and phase for reducing undesirable feedback.
