Product Description

Big, Bold Gibson SJ-200 Tone That Fills The Room

If you want that huge, cinematic acoustic sound you hear on classic records, the SJ-200 Original is the blueprint. Big low end that feels like a piano, clear top end that stays glassy when you dig in, and a midrange scoop that leaves tons of space for your voice.

This is the King of the Flat-Tops for a reason. Since the late 30s it has been the go-to for songwriters, country royalty, and rock legends who need an acoustic that hangs in a band mix instead of getting buried.

Super Jumbo Body With Sitka Spruce And Flamed Maple

The Super Jumbo body gives you serious air movement and projection, but the Sitka spruce top keeps things focused and articulate. Strum hard and it roars with that blooming low end; back off and you get a sweet, detailed response that records beautifully.

Flamed maple back and sides add snap and clarity, so those big cowboy chords stay defined instead of turning to mush. Traditional hand scalloped X-bracing lets the whole box breathe, and at about 5.1 lbs this big-body Gibson is surprisingly comfortable for long sets.

Comfortable Rounded Neck And Rosewood Fingerboard

The 2-piece maple neck with a rounded profile hits that sweet spot between chunky and slim. It fills your hand just enough to make long sessions easy, whether you live on first-position chords or stretch into more complex shapes up the neck.

A 12 inch rosewood fingerboard with standard frets gives you smooth bends and clean barre chords without fighting the radius. Mother-of-pearl Graduated Crown inlays tie it all together with that unmistakable Gibson look.

LR Baggs VTC For The Real SJ-200 Voice Plugged In

When it is time to hit the stage or studio, the LR Baggs VTC pickup keeps the natural voice of this guitar intact. The under saddle design captures the punch and low end bloom without turning into a brittle piezo quack.

Simple volume and tone controls make it easy to dial in under stage lights. Run it straight into a PA, an acoustic amp, or your favorite pedal chain and you are ready for anything from solo coffeehouse gigs to full band worship sets.

Iconic Appointments And Nitro Finish

From the carved four bar Moustache bridge to the engraved tortoise pickguard, this SJ-200 Original looks every bit as high-end as it sounds. Multi-ply binding on the top and back frames that exquisite flamed maple so it pops from across the room.

A gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish lets the wood resonate freely and will only get better as you play it. Gold Gotoh Keystone tuners add rock solid tuning stability and just the right amount of flash without feeling gaudy.

Dialed In By Players, For Players

Every Gibson that hits our shop gets the full Moore Guitars treatment. That means a thorough inspection when it arrives, a Player-Perfect setup tailored to real-world playing, and a final check before we close the case.

You also get a hardshell case, Gibson accessory kit, free 2-3 day shipping, and access to 0% financing for up to 36 months and trade-in options if you want to reshuffle the herd. All of that is backed by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee so you can hear it in your own space with zero stress.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The SJ-200 has been the go-to Super Jumbo since 1937 for a reason. The huge body, Sitka spruce top, and flamed maple back and sides give you that massive, piano-like low end with clear, chimey highs that sit perfectly under vocals. Add in the classic Moustache bridge, engraved tortoise pickguard, and crown inlays and you get a guitar that sounds as iconic as it looks. It is the kind of instrument that becomes part of your musical identity.
It is a big box, no doubt, but it is a very friendly one. On a strap, the body sits in close and balances well so you are not fighting neck dive. Seated, it feels substantial but not awkward. At about 5.1 lbs it is lighter than you might expect, and that extra air space is exactly why it projects so well. Strum it and you feel the whole top moving against your chest. Fingerpick and it responds with surprising nuance for such a powerful guitar.
Absolutely. The LR Baggs VTC is a pro-level undersaddle system that keeps the natural character of the SJ-200 intact when you plug in. You get a strong, clear signal that takes EQ well and does not fall apart at higher stage volumes. The simple volume and tone controls make tweaks easy on the fly. Whether you are running direct to front of house, into an acoustic amp, or through a pedalboard, it is ready for church stages, theaters, and studio sessions.
The SJ-200 Original is born to strum, but it is not a one-trick pony. Big open chords and driving rhythms are where it really flexes, with tons of low end and shimmer on top. That said, the Sitka spruce and maple combo plus the 12″ radius neck make it surprisingly articulate for fingerstyle. If your world is songwriter sets where you move between delicate verses and big choruses, this guitar feels like cheating.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
