Overview
The enduring heritage of Gibson's "King of the Flat-Tops" continues with the SJ-200 60s Original. Since its debut in 1937, the SJ-200 has stood as one of the most influential and recognizable acoustic guitars ever made. The SJ-200 60s Original celebrates that storied history by recreating the model as it appeared during the 1960s, when it was favored by legendary musicians including Pete Townshend, Bob Dylan, and George Harrison. Representing the same style of SJ-200 heard on countless classic recordings, it features the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, faithfully capturing the instrument's powerful acoustic character and the subtle details of every performance when plugged in.
Crafted with AAA figured maple back and sides, accented by a checkerboard marquetry center strip, the SJ-200 60s Original pairs its striking body with a solid AAA Sitka spruce top supported by traditional scalloped X-bracing. Available in distinctive 60s-inspired nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, it features a two-piece maple neck with a walnut stringer and a comfortable Round profile. A period-correct 1.687-inch nut width mirrors examples from the era and provides a familiar feel that makes first-position chord work especially comfortable. The rosewood fretboard is fitted with 20 standard frets and adorned with the SJ-200's signature mother-of-pearl graduated crown inlays.
The guitar's no-border pickguard showcases the model's unmistakable artwork, while the solid rosewood… read more Moustache bridge is highlighted with mother-of-pearl hourglass and teardrop inlays. Reflecting the preferences of many contemporary players, Gibson has equipped the SJ-200 60s Original with a bone saddle in place of a Tune-O-Matic bridge. Additional premium appointments include gold Grover Rotomatic tuning machines for dependable tuning stability, a bone nut, and TUSQ bridge pins.
Internally, the SJ-200 60s Original is equipped with the Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. This active design utilizes two lightweight sensors mounted to the bridge plate and pairs them with individually optimized preamps to produce a rich, natural amplified sound. The system preserves the guitar's unique voice and dynamic response without affecting its unplugged tone. The Baggs HiFi DNA system also delivers gain-before-feedback performance comparable to that of traditional under-saddle pickup designs. Convenient soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls provide easy on-the-fly adjustment while remaining virtually unseen by the audience.
A Gibson hardshell case is included for protection and transport, ensuring the SJ-200 60s Original is ready for performances, recording sessions, and wherever your musical journey leads.
