Gibson - SJ-200 Standard Rosewood Rosewood Burst

Placing your fingers on a Gibson SJ-200 Standard Rosewood Burst immediately inspires you to play open chords in a different way. Beneath the Sitka spruce top, the rosewood body lends the low end a deep richness, whilst the hand-carved X-bracing supports the vibrations of the jumbo body and distributes its energy evenly.

The mahogany neck, joined to the composite dovetail body using heated hide glue, features a 25.5-inch scale length and a classic round profile. The Indian rosewood fingerboard, with a 12-inch radius, features 20 frets and mother-of-pearl crown inlays. The 43.82 mm TUSQ nut and adjustable truss rod ensure precise tuning.

The high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish covers a body edged with multi-ply binding on both the rosewood top and back. The SJ-200 rosewood moustache bridge, with TUSQ tuning pegs, transmits the energy from the strings to the wood. The tortoiseshell pickguard, featuring the J-200 Cream Flower pattern, and the gold-plated Grover Imperial tuning machines define the silhouette inherited from 1937.

On stage, the L.R. Baggs Anthem allows the SJ-200 to breathe like an acoustic guitar, combining a piezo under the nut with an internal pickup; the blend, volume and phase controls allow the sound to be shaped without compromising its character. The 6.35 mm jack output connects to the sound system, whilst the .012 to .053 strings extend this generous response. With the model number MCJB20RWRB, this US-assembled Gibson comes complete with its Gibson hard case, ready to hit the road again.
