This famous flame maple-backed dreadnought introduced in the early '60s is intertwined with one of the most revolutionary decades in popular music history. Its maple back & sides, and long scale produce the crisp, clear tone and projection associated with the SJ-200 while the square-shoulder body brings a balance and warmth usually associated with the Hummingbird.

The handcrafted pickguard, with a single mother-of-pearl dove inlaid among hand-painted wild roses, make this guitar instantly recognizable as a true child of the '60s.
