Gibson Modern Anniversary Limited Edition SJ-200 Cremona Burst

In celebration of 100 Years of Gibson Flat-Tops, Gibson Custom is proud to introduce the SJ-200 Anniversary Limited Edition. Part of a special Anniversary Collection of five iconic acoustic models, with only 100 guitars of each model available, this stunning and collectible SJ-200™ is crafted under the big skies of Bozeman, Montana, and built to inspire for generations.  

The SJ-200 Anniversary Limited Edition features AAA figured maple back and sides paired with a select bear claw Sitka spruce top, delivering not only classic SJ-200 tone, but also exceptional beauty. The back is framed by multi-ply binding. The top features multi-ply binding with abalone and an abalone rosette.

The two-piece AA maple neck has a walnut stringer and a comfortable Round profile. The bound rosewood fretboard is equipped with 20 standard frets and adorned with the iconic graduated crowns, inlaid in mother of pearl. The single-ply bound headstock proudly displays the vintage script-style “The Gibson” logo, which is also inlaid in mother of pearl. The headstock comes equipped with a bone nut and gold-plated Grover® Imperial tuning machines.

The abalone theme also continues to the dots on the tortoise-shell-colored SJ-200 vines-and-flowers pickguard. The rosewood two-bar moustache™ bridge is equipped with a bone saddle and TUSQ® bridge pins, and the bar inlays are crafted using mother of pearl.

The SJ-200 Anniversary Limited Edition is finished in a historic Cremona Burst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer and comes craftory-equipped with L.R. Baggs™ VTC electronics, with a piezo under-saddle sensor and active preamp. The soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls are easily accessible by the player while remaining all but invisible to the audience. It comes packaged in a Gibson Custom hardshell case, along with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Due to its size, exceptional sound quality, bold projection, and undeniable stage presence, the SJ-200 has been known as the King of the Flat-Tops since its introduction in 1937. Embraced by everyone from matinee cowboy crooners and country superstars to folk artists and rock royalty, it remains one of the most beloved and instantly-identifiable acoustic guitars ever made. Here is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a limited-edition SJ-200 celebrating a century of Gibson flat-top acoustic guitar luthiery. Act fast and get yours while they’re still available.
