Gibson SJ-200- 50's Re-Issue Acoustic Guitar 

 This is a 2000 Gibson SJ-200 in excellent condition, like new.
Beautiful  shiny finish, no scratches, dents, no checking and all of the engraving is still in tact on the pick guard.
There may light pick scratches but they are so light they cannot be picked up by the camera.
I consider this guitar to be in collectors condition.

It has a deep vintage sound that is louder than anything I have played.
The action is low and it plays like a dream. No visible fret wear.

It has the original hard shell case and paperwork.

Feel free to ask any questions.


Shipping will be actual costs.

 Gibson SJ-200 Reissue, the Gibson Guitar Company has attempted to recreate the standards of the 1950's, a period which many regard as the heyday for this company in the construction of acoustic flat top guitars.


The Gibson SJ-200 Reissue comes with a fancy figured maple back, sides, and neck. This is strictly a limited edition and is a product of the Gibson in Bozeman, Montana. All the beautiful hand workmanship lavished on the other Gibson Acoustics is apparent in this one, also. The woods are carefully matched and fitted and bound with multiple layer celluloid binding to ensure durable edges in case of the occasional hard knock. The neck and headstock are also completely bound, as in the highest quality instruments.


The sturdy maple neck has a Madagascar rosewood fretboard, with large mother of pearl crest inlays and is hard as woodpecker lips, for wonderful brilliant sustain. There are  four inlays in the trademark mustache shaped ebony bridge. The detailing is remarkable with even the end of the fingerboard at the sound hole bound and finished off like so {. The tuners are handsome, gold plated, and shaped with the distinctive keystone shape of a vintage 1950s SJ-200.

The selected premium Spruce top is carefully braced by hand with scalloped and arched braces that direct the sound to the sound hole giving the guitar that signature “Gibson sound.” Gibson says this bracing design works to project the sound exactly like a fine audio speaker does. The top is finished off with a distinctive tortoise shell pick guard with inlaid vine and flower motifs and a rosette surrounds the sound hole.

The neck and body are joined with a special dovetail joint that perfectly transfers the string vibrations to the body, as if the guitar were made of a single piece of wood, for superior tone and resonance. I will submit to you that it sounds wonderful and will bring your playing to new heights.

The Gibson SJ-200 is finished with several coats of hand rubbed lacquer, just as they always have been. Through age, the lacquer melds with the wood and takes on that much sought-after “vintage Gibson” appearance. The sound also improves with age and playing, another advantage of a premium quality, all-wood instrument.

When it becomes your time to get a solid wood, hand built guitar, the Gibson SJ-200 Reissue should be on your playing list.
