Description

The Gibson SJ-200 60s Original Electro Acoustic in Heritage Cherry Sunburst brings the legendary King of the Flat-Tops into the modern era, complete with a factory-fitted Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. Channelling the look, feel and sound of the iconic 1960s models favoured by Pete Townshend, Bob Dylan and George Harrison, it delivers that huge, orchestral jumbo voice on the sofa, in the studio or on stage, with a natural amplified tone that stays true to the guitar. With AAA Sitka spruce on top of beautifully figured AAA maple, traditional scalloped X-bracing and a comfortable round-profile neck, this SJ-200 is built for big, open chords, rich fingerstyle textures and dynamic strumming. Period-correct details like the no-border pickguard artwork, graduated crown inlays and solid rosewood Moustache bridge keep it firmly rooted in Gibson history, while the Baggs HiFi DNA system offers a powerful, feedback-resistant live sound that still feels like a great acoustic under your hands. Classic 60s SJ-200 Feel and Aesthetic The SJ-200 60s Original faithfully recreates the vibe of the golden-era jumbo that defined so many classic recordings. The Heritage Cherry Sunburst gloss nitrocellulose finish, multi-ply binding and iconic no-border pickguard artwork give it an unmistakable stage presence, while the 60s-correct 1.687 inch nut width and round neck profile provide a familiar, easy-playing feel that makes first-position chords and long sets feel effortless. AAA Tonewoods and Scalloped X-Bracing A solid AAA Sitka spruce top paired with AAA figured maple back and sides delivers the huge, piano-like projection the SJ-200 is famous for. Traditional scalloped X-bracing lets the top move freely, giving you a wide dynamic range, clear note separation and plenty of headroom for hard strumming. Whether you are playing delicately or digging in, the guitar responds with warmth, definition and that unmistakable jumbo shimmer. Iconic Moustache Bridge and Crown Inlays The solid 60s SJ-200 rosewood Moustache bridge, complete with mother-of-pearl hourglass and teardrop inlays, is both visually striking and tonally important. Coupled with the rosewood fingerboard and graduated crown inlays, it reinforces the guitar’s heritage while helping to focus the low end and enhance sustain. A bone saddle and TUSQ bridge pins further optimise string energy transfer for a clear, articulate acoustic voice. Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup System The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system equips this SJ-200 with a premium, stage-ready amplified sound. Two lightweight sensors mounted to the bridge plate feed individually voiced preamps, capturing the guitar’s natural acoustic character and subtle nuances without altering its unplugged tone. With gain-before-feedback performance comparable to traditional under-saddle designs and discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls, you get a powerful, controllable live sound that still feels organic and expressive. Key Features Heritage Cherry Sunburst 60s Styling – The distinctive Heritage Cherry Sunburst gloss nitro finish, multi-ply binding and no-border pickguard artwork recreate the look of the classic 60s SJ-200, giving you a guitar that looks as iconic as it sounds on stage and in the studio. AAA Sitka Spruce and Figured Maple Construction – A solid AAA Sitka spruce top combined with AAA figured maple back and sides produces a powerful, balanced jumbo voice with sparkling highs, tight lows and plenty of projection, ideal for big strumming, singer-songwriter work and ensemble playing. Comfortable Round-Profile Neck – The two-piece maple neck with walnut stringer and round profile, along with a period-correct 1.687 inch nut width, offers a smooth, comfortable feel that suits both chord-heavy rhythm work and more intricate playing styles.
