Recreate the iconic tone of a vintage SJ-200 flat-top acoustic-electric.
The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1957 SJ-200 acoustic-electric guitar brings you the legendary tone and aesthetics of Gibson's King of the Flat-Tops. This impressive guitar is designed for serious musicians looking for a bold yet balanced sound. It features a thermally aged Sitka spruce top supported by scalloped X-bracing, solid figured maple back and sides and a flame maple neck with a comfortable C-profile and laurel fingerboard.
Thermally Aged Solid Wood Construction
Just like vintage classics from the 1950s, the SJ-200 is crafted from all solid woods that resonate freely. Its thermally aged Sitka spruce top and maple back and sides have been treated to mimic the molecular changes of wood that occurs over decades of aging. The result is a warm, rich tone with articulate highs and tight bass. The flame maple neck also provides a smooth feel and visual flair.
Iconic Super Jumbo Style
With its distinctive square-shouldered body and elegant mustache bridge, the Inspired by Gibson Custom SJ-200 embodies the look of Gibson's most coveted acoustic. Its enlarged soundhole produces a robust low end and projecting highs. The engraved pickguard and crown inlays are touches of opulence. Visually and sonically, this guitar makes a bold statement.
Plug in and Play
While the SJ-200 sounds stunning acoustically, it also comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup so you can plug in for live performance or recording. The preamp provides tone shaping to optimize your sound through an amplifier or PA. When unplugged, the pickup causes no tonal coloration. You get the best of both worlds with this guitar.
Premium Appointments
From its Inspired by Gibson Custom engraved truss rod cover to its bone nut and saddle, every detail of this SJ-200 is crafted with care. Its graduated crown mother-of-pearl inlays and compensated bone saddle contribute to exceptional intonation. It even includes an Inspired by Gibson Custom hardshell case for protection and transport. Experience a legend reborn in the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1957 SJ-200.
