Description

Few acoustic guitars embody Gibson's acoustic legacy more completely than the SJ-200. Created to commemorate 100 years of flat-top craftsmanship, the Gibson Custom SJ-200 Anniversary Limited Edition celebrates that milestone with heirloom-quality craftsmanship, exceptional tonewoods and commemorative appointments worthy of the King of the Flat-Tops. Limited to just 100 instruments worldwide as part of Gibson Custom's five-model Anniversary Collection, it pairs AAA figured maple back and sides with a premium bear claw Sitka spruce top for the powerful, articulate voice that has defined the SJ-200 for generations. A two-piece AA maple neck with a walnut stringer and bound rosewood fingerboard delivers a smooth, comfortable playing experience, while LR Baggs VTC electronics faithfully capture the guitar's natural acoustic character for the stage and studio. Finished in a historic Cremona Burst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer and adorned with abalone and mother-of-pearl appointments throughout, the SJ-200 Anniversary Limited Edition stands as a fitting tribute to a century of Gibson flat-top excellence.

AAA Maple and Bear Claw Sitka Spruce for the Classic SJ-200 Voice

An inspired pairing of premium tonewoods gives the SJ-200 Anniversary Limited Edition its commanding voice and striking visual presence. A bear claw Sitka spruce top delivers exceptional clarity, dynamic range and projection, while AAA figured maple back and sides contribute crisp articulation, shimmering highs and a focused low end that remains balanced even under a heavy attack. The SJ-200's expansive body shape enhances volume and resonance, creating the bold, piano-like response that has made this iconic acoustic a favorite of performers for generations.

AA Maple Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard for Effortless Playability

A two-piece AA maple neck reinforced with a walnut stringer provides exceptional strength and stability, while its comfortable Round profile feels equally inviting for rhythm work and expressive lead passages. The bound rosewood fingerboard is fitted with 20 standard frets and adorned with elegant mother-of-pearl graduated crown inlays, delivering a smooth, responsive playing surface with timeless Gibson style. A traditional dovetail neck joint further enhances resonance, while the bone nut supports excellent sustain and precise note definition.

LR Baggs VTC Electronics for Natural Amplified Tone

Ready for the stage straight from the factory, the SJ-200 Anniversary Limited Edition is equipped with LR Baggs VTC electronics, pairing an undersaddle piezo pickup with an active preamp for clear, natural amplified acoustic tone. Discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls provide convenient access without interrupting the guitar's classic appearance, making it easy to move from intimate acoustic gigs to full-band performances while preserving the rich, dynamic voice of the instrument.

Historic Cremona Burst Finish and Custom Shop Artistry

Finished in Gibson's historic Cremona Burst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the SJ-200 Anniversary Limited Edition pays tribute to a century of flat-top craftsmanship with a look that feels both timeless and unmistakably Gibson. Multi-ply top binding with abalone, multi-ply back binding and an elegant abalone rosette frame the premium tonewoods, while the iconic SJ-200 vines-and-flowers pickguard features abalone dot accents that echo the guitar's refined detailing. A rosewood two-bar moustache bridge with mother-of-pearl bar inlays, gold Grover Imperial tuners and the vintage script-style "The Gibson" logo complete a presentation worthy of Gibson's flagship acoustic. Each guitar includes a Gibson Custom hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.

A Super Jumbo Celebrating a Century of Gibson Flat-Top Excellence

Limited to just 100 examples worldwide, the Gibson Custom SJ-200 Anniversary Limited Edition stands as a fitting tribute to a century of Gibson flat-top craftsmanship. Combining heirloom-quality materials, masterful Custom Shop artistry and one of the most celebrated acoustic designs ever created, it honors the company's enduring legacy while looking confidently toward its next century.
