Gibson Acoustic Custom Shop Pre-War SJ-200 Rosewood – Vintage Sunburst
Great to be King
The Acoustic Custom Shop has recreated the King of the Flat-Tops. One of Gibson’s most storied models, this Historic Reissue instrument is hand-built in Gibson’s celebrated Bozeman facility using the finest materials and styled after its late 1930s counterparts. Each is constructed with a select thermally aged Adirondack red spruce top with hot hide glue bracing, rosewood back and sides, and premium ebony for the fingerboard and bridge. No detail is left untouched: the bound fingerboard, vintage style script Gibson inlay, and unique pickguard add custom touches all over this authentic recreation.
