Description
The legacy of Gibson’s “King of the Flat-Tops” continues with the SJ-200 Western Classic. From its first appearance in 1937, Gibson’s SJ-200 set an unmatched standard. The SJ-200 Western Classic from the Gibson Acoustic Custom Shop continues that tradition. With Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a AAA Sitka spruce top, it delivers impressive volume and exceptional tone. It is also one of the most stylish acoustic guitars ever created, with a four-bar Moustache™ bridge, ebony fingerboard with block mother of pearl inlays, gold Waverly tuning machines, and a Western Classic torch inlay on the headstock. A Gibson hardshell case is included.
