Gibson SJ-200 Studio Rosewood Acoustic Eectric Guitar with Gig Case, Rosewood Burst with Gloss Top

A Full-depth, Gloss-top Overhaul to Gibson’s Studio-series Jumbo

When Gibson’s rosewood-bodied Studio series of acoustic guitars initially launched, they offered guitarists more accessible variations of classic Gibson models with slimmed-down bodies and understated appointments. Now, the SJ-200 Studio Rosewood takes a leap towards its top-of-the-line sibling with an upgraded full-depth body and a gleaming gloss nitro top. This guitar’s super-jumbo body and scalloped X-braced Sitka spruce top team together to deliver mammoth projection and cavernous sonic depth. Rosewood forms the back and sides of this superb 6-string, granting the already formidable SJ formula enhanced bass and a room-filling resonance that blooms and sustains with rich overtones. An Advanced Response utile neck sits beneath the premium 16-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard, and it’s all finished off with eye-catching mother-of-pearl crown inlays. And although this SJ-200 Studio Rosewood packs a massive unplugged punch, you also get LR Baggs electronics to electrify your sound. 

Rosewood body delivers deep bass and lush overtones
While Gibson’s SJ-200 has made a name for itself as one of the world’s premier maple-bodied guitars, the truth is that the SJ-200 began life with rich rosewood back and sides. In a way, the Gibson Acoustic SJ-200 Studio is a true throwback to the SJ-200’s late 1930s roots, boasting a beautiful set of rosewood back and sides to pair with its Sitka spruce top. What differentiates a rosewood-bodied SJ-200 from its maple- and walnut-bodied counterparts? Rosewood delivers a deeper bass response and superior overtones than many other tonewoods, but it also features a slightly less forward midrange. Affectionately referred to as the “king of the flat-tops,” the SJ-200 is the biggest, loudest, and most powerful 6-string in the Gibson Acoustic arsenal. Few guitars can match the sheer sonic potential of an SJ-200 strummed with full intensity, but what separates the sound of a Super Jumbo from a dreadnought or other large-bodied 6-string? In a word, balance.
