Gibson 1957 SJ-200 Acoustic Guitar Vintage Sunburst

Gibson’s 1957 SJ-200 acoustic guitar brings a vintage vibe and feel that shaped some of the most coveted Gibson acoustics. This Custom Shop reissue offers details such as hand-selected maple for the back and sides, a headstock stinger, and Gibson’s Thermally Aged top to provide the complete vintage effect.

Thermally Aged Sitka Spruce Top Unleashes Full-Bodied Tone

The 1957 SJ-200’s Thermally Aged Sitka spruce top pairs with hand-selected maple back and sides to produce a big, rich tone with incredible volume. The aging process helps the top resonate more freely, enhancing the low end and creating a more balanced tone overall.

Maple Neck and Ebony Fingerboard Provide Smooth Playability

A high-quality maple neck joined to an ebony fingerboard offers a slick playing feel. The neck’s traditional profile and 25.5″ scale length provide a familiar feel for most guitarists. Crown position markers made of genuine mother-of-pearl add a touch of elegance.

Iconic Appointments Honor Vintage Tradition

A two-piece maple bridge, floral pickguard, and “stinger” headstock recreate the SJ-200’s iconic look. The bridge’s compensated saddle enhances intonation while bone nut and saddle improve tone. Gold Kluson tuners provide smooth, accurate tuning.
