SJ-200 with 3-piece Back in Merlot Burst

This Gibson Custom Select SJ-200™ Standard is dressed from top to bottom with handpicked features that make this instrument truly special. Gibson Custom Select offers instruments with unique features that are not found on standard products. These features can include exotic tonewoods, upgraded hardware, custom finishes, and other customized features. These Gibson Custom acoustic guitars are made in small batches by the skilled artisans in Bozeman, Montana, which makes them rare birds to see in the wild. Designed by experts at Gibson, Gibson Custom Select is the place to visit for a curated selection of guitars with special features. 

This Gibson Custom Select SJ-200 features a Merlot Burst, which is the first of its kind from Gibson Custom. This finish is reminiscent of a fine wine that changes hue depending on the kind of glass it is in. From a deep burgundy color to a brighter hue in the center, this finish is featured on the top, the back, and the neck. The specially constructed three-piece back with a AAA flame maple center strip features the Merlot Burst finish while being surrounded by naturally finished rosewood. The two-piece flame maple neck features the matching Merlot Burst with a unique burst pattern that is the first of its kind from Gibson. This three-piece back is not found on any normal production model and uses the same construction techniques that are found on the Gibson Custom Monarch.

Abalone shell is featured prominently throughout the guitar, which contrasts with the burgundy-hued finish. This shell is inlaid on the purfling around the top, on the four-mar Moustache™ bridge, on the rosette around the soundhole, on the pickguard, and in the crown inlays. On the single ply bound peghead, the iconic Gibson script logo and crown inlay are inlaid with mother-of-pearl, while Gold Grover ® Imperial™ tuning machines top off the elegant aesthetic of the instrument. From every angle, this instrument has something special to display while remaining classy in its appearance.  

This Gibson Custom Select SJ-200 Standard is packed with hand-selected features that are not found on production models. The brand-new Merlot Burst finish has the spirit of a vintage finish with a touch of modernity. In combination with the rosewood back and sides, this SJ-200 brings the deluxe treatment to another level. This SJ-200 is something that will stand the test of time in any collection of fine acoustic instruments. Included with the guitar is a Gibson Custom Certificate of Authenticity and a hardshell case.
