Gibson calls the SJ-200 the King of the Flat-Tops, and nothing else fills a room like its super jumbo body. From the maple-bodied Original to Studio rosewood and walnut variants and Custom Shop 1957 reissues, every SJ-200 here is inspected and set up before it ships.

About the Gibson SJ-200

Introduced in 1937, the SJ-200 defined the super jumbo acoustic: a 17-inch maple body, moustache bridge, and crown-inlaid ebony fretboard delivering a huge, balanced voice that has backed everyone from Elvis Presley to Emmylou Harris and Pete Townshend. The modern Original stays faithful to the classic maple recipe, the Standard adds contemporary appointments and electronics, and Studio versions in rosewood and walnut trade ornamentation for tonal variety and price. At the top, True Vintage and Murphy Lab aged 1957 reissues from Gibson's Custom Shop chase the golden-era originals. Our SJ-200 stock is one-off and rotates constantly. The guitar you see listed is the exact instrument you'll receive.

Frequently asked questions

Is the SJ-200 the same as the J-200?

Yes, Gibson has used both names for the same super jumbo model over the years. It debuted as the Super Jumbo 200 in 1937, was labeled J-200 for decades, and current production has returned to the SJ-200 name.

What's the difference between the SJ-200 Original, Standard, and Studio?

The Original recreates the classic maple body and vintage appointments; the Standard keeps the full dress with modern electronics; Studio models in rosewood or walnut simplify the cosmetics for a friendlier price while keeping the super jumbo body and voice.

Will my SJ-200 be set up before it ships?

Every guitar we sell is inspected and professionally set up before shipping, and anything over $3K gets a complimentary PLEK fret dress on Georgia's only PLEK station.
