Solid Spruce. Gotoh Tuners. ***Shown in Antique Natural.

The SJ-200 Reissue is an all-time best-seller! With its historic 1950s details, this is the most popular jumbo, known as the "King of the Flat-tops". In today's world, many acoustic guitar manufacturers have chosen to build their instruments more quickly, cheaply, and in greater numbers. Gibson acoustic guitars are made one-at-a-time, by hand. No shortcuts. No substitutions. They're made in Bozeman, Montana, where the climatic conditions are ideal for guitar building. Most importantly, Gibson acoustic guitars are built by master craftspeople who have dedicated their lives to building the world's finest acoustic instruments. These elements combine to create the difference that is the Gibson acoustic guitar. The difference is "MasterBuilt."
