The Gibson Custom Shop 1957 SJ-200 channels the unmistakable authority of the “King of the Flat-tops,” delivering the commanding presence, visual elegance, and expansive voice that defined Gibson’s golden-era Super Jumbo acoustics. Built by Gibson’s Custom Shop luthiers, this model captures the spirit of the 1950s with a Vintage Sunburst finish, headstock stinger, and refined vintage detailing inspired by some of the most iconic instruments ever produced.

At the heart of its sound is a thermally aged Sitka spruce top paired with hand-selected flame maple back and sides, a classic SJ-200 combination known for its powerful projection, crisp articulation, and shimmering high end. Traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing enhances responsiveness and dynamic range, giving the guitar a bold yet balanced voice that excels in both strummed and fingerstyle settings while filling a room with ease.

The two-piece maple neck features a comfortable rounded profile that feels substantial yet familiar, while the rosewood fingerboard with graduated mother-of-pearl crown inlays reinforces the SJ-200’s unmistakable identity. Premium touches like the four-bar moustache bridge, bone nut and saddle, and gold Gotoh Keystone tuners ensure stable tuning, excellent sustain, and long-term reliability worthy of a flagship acoustic.

Finished in thin nitrocellulose lacquer with a lightly aged VOS treatment, this Custom Shop 1957 SJ-200 offers the look, feel, and tonal maturity of a well-preserved vintage original straight out of the case. It ships in a hardshell case and represents a true collector-grade acoustic for players seeking historic Gibson tone and presence, available at Haggerty’s Music.
