The Gibson Custom SJ-200 is the kind of acoustic guitar that immediately fills a room, both visually and sonically. Long known as the “King of the Flat-Tops,” the SJ-200 has earned its place in music history through its commanding presence, powerful voice, and unmistakable elegance. This Custom Shop version elevates that legacy even further, pairing vintage-inspired craftsmanship with premium materials to create an instrument that feels every bit as special as it looks.

The combination of a thermally aged Sitka spruce top and beautifully figured flame maple back and sides delivers the signature SJ-200 sound; bold, expansive, and remarkably articulate. The torrefied top adds a mature, played-in warmth and responsiveness, while the maple body provides exceptional clarity, projection, and note separation. Whether you’re strumming full chords or picking intricate passages, the voice remains balanced and expressive, with the kind of headroom that shines on stage, in the studio, or around a microphone.

Every detail reflects the care and precision of Gibson’s Custom Shop, from the hand-scalloped X-bracing with hide glue construction to the elegant mother-of-pearl crown inlays and iconic moustache bridge. The rounded maple neck offers a comfortable, familiar feel, while the thin VOS nitrocellulose finish enhances resonance and gives the guitar a beautifully aged appearance. Complete with gold hardware and a period-correct case, this Gibson Custom SJ-200 is a stunning example of acoustic craftsmanship at its finest. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
