Overview

This is one the best guitars ever made by Gibson.

Critic Consensus

This is a high end guitar from Gibson that keeps Gibson on the top of the food chain in the world of Flat Top and best acoustic guitars.  The Gibson SJ-200 is the most famous guitar in the world with a popularity to match its notoriety of best guitars.

Gibson SJ-200 Standard Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • 2016 engraved truss rod cover
  • Softened fingerboard edge
  • Comprehensive Plek assisted setup
  • LR Baggs Anthem pickup.

The maple and spruce guitar shines with its gold Grover rotomatic tuners with two mother of pearl bar mustache bridge with a beautiful pick-guard that make this guitar pop to the eye.

The Rosewood fretboard feel amazing to play and you can feel the high end quality with every note. This is an expensive guitar but you get what you pay for. If you’re a beginner guitarist, investing in a starter model can pay off, like the model we feature in our Taylor Academy 12E review.

It’s no wonder this guitar has been used by The Beatles, The Who, Bob Dylan and a ton of other incredible musicians whose taste has been backed by their talent. If you want another vintage option at a fraction of the price, be sure to consider the guitar in our Gretsch Honey Dipper review.
