Inspired by the SJ-200 gifted to Elvis at RCA Studio B in Nashville during the 1960s, this edition carries forward the artist?s aura. Used on stage and later passed to Marty Lacker at Graceland in 1976, the Gibson Elvis SJ-200 embodies heritage, style, and stage reliability in Gibson?s most legendary acoustic format.
Ideal for intermediate to professional guitarists seeking a benchmark electro-acoustic folk guitar. Perfect for powerful strumming, country, rock, folk, and ballads, it also supports fingerpicking and vocal accompaniment thanks to its wide dynamic range and crystal-clear definition.
The Sitka spruce top delivers a broad dynamic response, silky highs, and precise attack. The maple back/sides and neck provide brightness, articulation, and tight lows, while the Super Jumbo body ensures ?stage-size? projection and generous sustain. The ?Moustache? bridge optimizes string pressure on the saddle for stable intonation and even string-to-string response.
The long 25.5" / 647.7 mm scale length offers tension, rhythmic precision, and clarity. The bone nut enhances vibration transfer. Plugged in, the LR Baggs VTC system (under-saddle pickup) produces a natural, balanced sound with minimal feedback, with volume and tone controls conveniently accessible in the soundhole.
Phosphor bronze steel strings gauge 12-53 for folk, acoustic guitar capo, guitar strap (standard attachment), acoustic stand, and case humidifier to stabilize humidity. Gibson hard case included.
