The King of the Flat-Tops, the Choice of Legends
The world-famous SJ-200 is known as the “King of the Flat-Tops,” and It’s been the choice of countless legends, from singing cowboys to country, folk, and rock icons, right up to some of today’s most popular artists. Now Epiphone, in collaboration with Gibson™ Custom, is proud to release the 1957 SJ-200. This impressive guitar features a thermally aged solid Sitka spruce top supported by scalloped X-bracing, solid figured maple back and sides, and a flame maple neck with a C-profile, laurel fretboard, and graduated crown mother of pearl inlays. The headstock has the Gibson “open book” shape, along with a mother-of-pearl crown and Epiphone logo inlays, and the Inspired by Gibson Custom double diamond logo etched into the back. The iconic J-200™ open moustache bridge and engraved pickguard are also present, along with a compensated bone saddle, bone nut, and bone bridge pins. It even comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ Element Bronze VTC preamp and L.R. Baggs Bronze Piezo under saddle pickup, so it’s ready to rock on stage or in the studio as soon as you take it out of the included Inspired by Gibson Custom hardshell case.
A battery is not included. To power your pickup, you will need a 9-volt battery.
