The legacy of Gibson’s “King of the Flat-Tops” lives on in the SJ-200 60s Original. From its inaugural appearance in 1937, the Gibson SJ-200™ set an unmatched standard. The SJ-200 60s Original continues the legacy of one of the world’s most famous and popular acoustic guitars. The SJ-200 60s Original replicates the SJ-200 as it appeared in the 1960s, a time when the model could be found in the hands of such noteworthy players as Pete Townshend, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, and Jimmy Page, among others.
This is the SJ-200 as used on some of the most legendary songs and albums ever recorded. The SJ-200 60s Original features a AAA figured maple body, with a checkerboard marquetry strip down the centre of the back, a solid AAA Sitka spruce top, and is presented in distinctive 60s-style nitrocellulose lacquer finishes. The two-piece maple neck has a walnut stringer and a comfortable Round profile, and a narrower 1.687” nut width as found on SJ-200 guitars from that era, which makes first-position chords easier to play.
The rosewood fretboard is dressed up with classic mother-of-pearl graduated crown inlays, one of the visual hallmarks of the SJ-200, and is equipped with 20 standard frets. The no-border SJ-200 pickguard features the instantly-identifiable and iconic graphics, and the solid rosewood Moustache™ bridge is also adorned with mother-of-pearl hourglass and teardrop inlays. In a nod to the preferences of many modern players, instead of a Tune-O-Matic™, the SJ-200 60s Original features a bone saddle.
The SJ-200 60s Original comes equipped with gold Grover® Rotomatic® tuners for solid tuning stability, a bone nut, and TUSQ® bridge pins, and it is stage and studio-ready with an internal L.R. Baggs™ VTC under-saddle pickup and preamp system with volume and tone controls discretely mounted in the sound hole. A Gibson hardshell case is also included to keep this iconic guitar safe during travel.
