{"product_id":"gibson-sj200-original-vintage-sunburst","title":"Gibson SJ200 Original - Vintage Sunburst","description":"The enduring legacy of Gibson's \"King of the Flat-Tops\" continues with the SJ-200™ Original. Since its debut in 1937, the SJ-200 has stood as a benchmark for both visual elegance and commanding acoustic tone. Now featuring the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA™ pickup system, it captures the guitar's powerful character and the subtle details of every performance with remarkable authenticity when amplified.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilt with a solid Sitka spruce top and flame maple back and sides, the SJ-200 Original produces a bold, projecting voice with exceptional clarity. Appointments inspired by Gibson's Golden Era reflect its historic roots, while a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, gold hardware and refined decorative elements underscore the model's renowned sophistication. The two-piece maple neck features a comfortable rounded profile and is topped with a rosewood fretboard carrying 20 standard frets and mother-of-pearl graduated crown inlays, one of the instrument's most recognisable visual signatures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe headstock showcases the Gibson logo and crown in mother-of-pearl inlays, while gold Gotoh Keystone tuners and a bone nut provide dependable tuning stability. An engraved tortoiseshell-coloured SJ-200 pickguard complements the carved four-bar Moustache bridge, crafted from rosewood and fitted with a bone saddle and TUSQ bridge pins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of the SJ-200 Original is the Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. This active design employs two lightweight sensors mounted to the internal bridge plate, paired with individually optimized preamps to reproduce a rich, natural amplified acoustic sound. The system preserves the guitar's unique voice without affecting its unplugged performance, while delivering gain-before-feedback performance comparable to an under-saddle pickup. Soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls allow quick adjustments while playing. A Gibson hardshell case is included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eShape: SJ-200\u003cbr\u003eBack\/Sides: Flame Maple\u003cbr\u003eTop: Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Multi-ply top and back\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: 2-piece Maple\u003cbr\u003eProfile: Round\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 647.7 mm\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eInlay: Mother-of-pearl graduated crowns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardware\u003cbr\u003eBridge: SJ-200 Four Bar Moustache\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Gotoh Keystone\u003cbr\u003ePlating: Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElectronics\u003cbr\u003eAcoustic Pickup: Baggs HiFi DNA\u003cbr\u003eControls: 1 Volume, 1 Tone","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67896914411762,"sku":"BM711106246161","price":10999.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6363\/5698\/files\/OCJB20HFVS_1.png?v=1793060566","url":"https:\/\/www.bettermusic.com.au\/products\/gibson-sj200-original-vintage-sunburst","provider":"Better Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
