Rosewood Returns to the King of the Flat-Tops
The Gibson SJ-200 is the worlds most famous acoustic guitar and well deserves its designation as the King of the Flat-Tops. Often made with a maple back and sides, the earliest examples were instead made with rosewood bodies. Now Gibson is proud to release the SJ-200 Standard Rosewood, bringing rosewood back to this highly acclaimed and cherished model. In addition to the rosewood back and sides, it features a Sitka spruce top, a mahogany neck with a comfortable round profile and a rosewood fretboard with graduated crown mother-of-pearl inlays, a two-bar moustache bridge, TUSQ bridge pins, saddle, and nut, and gold Grover Imperial tuners. It also comes equipped with the L.R. Baggs Anthem active under-saddle pickup and microphone system for superb studio-quality sound when plugged in, whether youre recording or playing live. Also available in left-handed versions, a Gibson hardshell case is included.
