An SJ-200 with the sound and elegance of koa
Gibson Custom is proud to introduce the SJ-200™ Elegant Koa, a new take on the iconic King of the Flat-Tops. Part of the Artisan Series, the SJ-200 Elegant Koa is a carefully crafted instrument with aesthetically refined features, making it as pleasing to the eye as it is to the ear.
The SJ-200 Elegant Koa features koa back and sides. Koa is a beautiful-looking and sonically bright tonewood, similar in some ways to maple, but it will warm up with time and use, delivering a tone with the high-end sparkle of maple that blooms with added warmth and a nice, balanced sound overall. The koa back also features a three-rope marquetry strip down the center. The koa back and sides are paired with a AAA Sitka spruce top.
The SJ-200 Elegant Koa has a mahogany neck with a comfortable Round profile. The neck is topped with a bound rosewood fretboard that features 20 standard frets and beautiful abalone graduated crown inlays. The single-ply bound headstock also features the Gibson logo and crown, both also inlaid in abalone, along with a TUSQ® nut and gold-plated Grover® Rotomatic® tuning machines.
The SJ-200 two-bar moustache™ bridge is crafted from rosewood and adorned with abalone bar inlays. The saddle and bridge pins are also TUSQ. SJ-200 pickguards are notable for their detailed flowers-and-vines design. The SJ-200 Elegant Koa kicks things up a notch with a tortoise-shell-colored guard featuring abalone dot inlays and a silver-foil stamp, which gives the pickguard a beautiful, colorful iridescence when viewed at varying angles.
The SJ-200 Elegant Koa comes craftory-equipped with high-quality L.R. Baggs™ Anthem electronics, with an under-saddle Element pickup paired with an internal microphone and preamp for natural acoustic guitar tone when plugged in on stage or in the studio. The controls, including volume, mix, phase, and battery check, are conveniently mounted at the edge of the soundhole, where they’re quick and easy for the player to access while remaining all but invisible to the audience. It comes packaged in a Gibson Custom hardshell case to help keep it safe in storage and transport.
First introduced in 1937, the SJ-200 has been seen in the hands of matinee singing cowboys and country superstars, folk stars and rock royalty, and has appeared on countless stages and famous recordings for decades. Due to its size, exceptional sound quality, bold projection, and undeniable stage presence, the SJ-200 has earned the nickname “The King of the Flat-Tops.” The SJ-200 Elegant Koa continues the legacy of one of the world’s most popular and famous acoustic guitar designs. It makes a sonic and visual statement like no other acoustic guitar ever made. Here is your opportunity to own an SJ-200 with elegant appointments and the rich tone of koa.
