Gibson Custom Shop SJ-200 VINE (2011)

Gibson Custom Shop / 2011 J-200 VINE

The SJ-200, known as the “King of the Flat Tops,” is Gibson’s flagship acoustic guitar model.
Its history began in 1937 with the creation of the “J-200,” a top-of-the-line acoustic guitar custom-built for Hollywood stars, including cowboy actor Ray Whitman.The Super Jumbo body, with its
overwhelming presence, and its luxurious ornamentation have remained a symbol of the top artists who have led the music scene throughout the ages.

This model is the special Gibson SJ-200 VINE, a fusion of that tradition and the pinnacle of craftsmanship.

—Supreme beauty and sound woven by history

The word “VINE” in the model name holds special significance in acoustic guitar decoration.
The intricate mother-of-pearl and abalone shell inlays, meticulously applied from the headstock to the fingerboard, evoke a sense of beauty as if a living vine were spreading gracefully.The classic “Tree of Life” inlay on the
fingerboard is a testament to the Gibson Custom Shop’s exceptional inlay craftsmanship, a tradition passed down from the golden age of the 1930s.

—Premium Wood Materials

The body top features carefully selected, high-quality Sitka spruce, while the sides and back are crafted from dazzlingly beautiful flamed maple.
The Gibson Custom Shop spared no expense in using some of the finest premium woods available in 2011.

—A Rich Tone Worthy of the “King of the Flat Tops” Name

In addition to the high volume and overwhelming dynamic range characteristic of the Super Jumbo, the clear, well-defined high frequencies unique to maple and the deep, mature low frequencies—refined over time—are exquisitely balanced. It resonates powerfully with
bold strums, while delicate fingerstyle playing fills the space with rich sustain and sparkling harmonics.

—Details that Carry On the Tradition

From the traditional open mustache bridge to the luxurious pickguard and the gleam of gold hardware, this guitar commands a breathtaking presence from every angle. It is truly a masterpiece—a instrument that maximizes both its beauty as a work of art and its potential as a musical tool to the absolute limit.

It is a supreme masterpiece that allows you to fully savor both its vintage appearance, evoking a sense of historical context, and Gibson’s finest craftsmanship. This is a must-have for anyone seeking a
lifelong companion or the pinnacle of their collection.
