Tangerine Burst on top, back, and sides
This Gibson Custom Select SJ-200™ 60s Original features a custom Tangerine Burst finish on the top, back, sides, and neck. This SJ-200 looks as if the original finish has faded over decades and is combined with a Baggs HiFi DNA™ system. Gibson Custom Select offers instruments with unique features that are not available on our core instruments. These specifications can include custom finishes, exotic tonewoods, and more. These guitars are designed by Gibson experts using the same system that is used to create a Made to Measure guitar. Crafted in small batches by skilled artisans at the Gibson Custom Shop in Bozeman, Montana, these instruments are not only unique, but also rare. Based on the Gibson SJ-200 60s Original, this Gibson Custom Select iteration combines this vintage-inspired model with a vintage-inspired finish.
The Gibson SJ-200 has undergone many evolutions since its debut in the late 1930s, making for an interesting history. During the first few years of production, the J-200 was made with Brazilian rosewood back and sides. Today, they are some of the most sought-after vintage acoustic guitars in the world. During World War II, the material used for the back and sides switched to maple, which the model has kept as the standard offering ever since. By the 1960s, the bridge had changed from the traditional saddle design to an adjustable Tune-O-Matic™ mounted into a solid Moustache™ bridge. Many players over the years have replaced the Tune-O-Matic with a traditional bone saddle, which this SJ-200 60s Original model features.
Offering the styling and feature set of SJ-200 models made in the 1960s, this Gibson Custom Select SJ-200 wears a custom Tangerine Burst finish, which was paint-matched by the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee. The inspiration for applying this Tangerine Burst finish to an SJ-200 60s Original came from vintage 1960s SJ-200 examples with faded Cherry Sunburst finishes. When these vintage finishes were exposed to ultraviolet light, the red hues faded to orange. This Tangerine Burst finish emulates the aging that appears on vintage guitars. The Tangerine Burst finish appears on the Sitka spruce top as well as the AAA figured maple back and sides. This finish enhances the natural beauty of the figured maple with its bright orange hues and golden center. The Tangerine Burst continues throughout the guitar to the three-piece AAA figured maple neck with a walnut stringer.
This Gibson Custom Select SJ-200 60s Original comes equipped with the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA™ pickup system, delivering the guitar’s unique voice and every nuance of your playing with exceptional realism when amplified. Dual transducers are mounted on the bass and treble sides of the bridge plate, and each is independently voiced and paired with its own Class A preamp. These two pickups are then blended into a mono output, allowing each guitar’s unique sound to come through. Not only does the Baggs HiFi DNA pickup deliver high-fidelity sound, but its lightweight construction, coupled with the placement of the transducers and peel-and-stick installation, makes for a non-invasive design. From the string to the saddle to the bridge to the bridge plate, the natural transfer of energy remains largely unaffected, preserving the guitar’s acoustic character whether plugged in or not.
Pairing the features of a 60s SJ-200 with a vintage-inspired finish and the top-of-the-line electronics system makes for a guitar that looks the part and sounds the part. Included with the guitar is a Gibson Custom Certificate of Authenticity and a hardshell case.
