The Gibson Custom Pre-War SJ-200 Rosewood Light Aged in Faded Vintage Sunburst revives the majesty of Gibson’s most legendary flat-top. Inspired by the scarce pre-1947 rosewood-bodied Super Jumbos, this faithful recreation captures the warmth, power, and elegance that made the original “King of the Flat-Tops” a crown jewel among acoustic guitars. Its thermally aged red spruce top and rosewood back and sides deliver lush overtones, rich lows, and vibrant projection, while scalloped red spruce X-bracing enhances dynamic response and sustain.

Every detail radiates vintage authenticity—from the two-piece AAA maple neck with walnut stringer and bound ebony fretboard to the ornate Four Bar Moustache bridge, Grover Imperial tuners, and Murphy Lab’s Light Aged finish that mirrors decades of gentle wear. With its period-correct Red Line hardshell case, the Pre-War SJ-200 Rosewood Light Aged embodies the sound, feel, and aesthetic of Gibson’s Golden Era—available now at Haggerty’s Music.
