Ever since 1937, the SJ-200 has been the king of the flat-tops, and it has ruled over every genre from arena rock to old-time country. Its enduring popularity in a wide variety of musical styles is a testament to its timeless design and spectacular sound.

Originally, Gibson designed the SJ-200 for singing cowboys like Ray Whitley that needed to project over a full band. In the thirties, primitive public address systems offered little in the way of sound reinforcement beyond boosting the vocals. So, acoustic guitars had to be big and loud to be heard live! Thus, the king of the flat-tops was born.

Many of the same qualities that made the SJ-200 a favorite of singing cowboys have made it a desirable guitar for recording, live use, and general music-making merriment. This particular model is a Custom Shop reissue of a Pre-War SJ-200, and it has rosewood back and sides as opposed to the standard maple. This boosts its bass response and overtone presence and adds some serious high-end lushness. All in all, it is an incredibly full, robust-sounding instrument that still maintains excellent touch-sensitivity.
