Gibson named this model “The King of the Flattop Guitars” because of its massive size, its powerful, stentorian voice and its exquisite beauty – it is dressy but not over the top. Gary Davis, Dave Van Ronk and Danny Kalb, but the rarified roster also includes some of the singing cowboys who worked on stage and screen in the period 1938 (when the J-200 debuted officially) and forward into the 1960s. We note that the Gibson SJ-200 is associated with such amazing artists as Elvis Presley, the Rev. The SJ-200 True Vintage captures the deep, well-balanced tone and powerful sound of these celebrated guitars, and is almost identical in makeup and structure as the most popular 1950’s versions including having an Adirondack red spruce top and VOS finish. The SJ-200 was originally built to cut through the loudest acoustic ensembles, but ended up defining the new American music scene of the 1930s on its way to becoming one of the world’s most famous acoustic guitars. Gibson Acoustic Division’s master luthiers in Bozeman, Montana have recreated a legend. Per the Gibson web site, the SJ-200 True Vintage acoustic guitar delivers the look, feel, and sound of Gibson’s original Super Jumbo as it first appeared in 1937 (except that in 1937 it was rosewood and this is fancy maple). #01907027, in AN finish (antique natural), near mint condition with original brown Gibson deluxe hard shell case.
