Description

The Epiphone '57 SJ-200 Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Antique Natural offers an affordable reinterpretation of the iconic "King of the Flat Tops." Developed in collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop, this SJ-200 harks back to the "Golden Era" of Gibson production, offering a vintage-inspired aesthetic with features like a mustache-style bridge, graduated crown inlays, and more.

The '57 SJ-200 showcases a thermally aged, solid Sitka spruce top and solid figured maple back and sides, accented by six-ply binding. Reminiscent of the original SJ-200, it also includes the pickguard and laurel mustache-style bridge that helped it achieved its aesthetic icon-status in the first place. 

Built with a flame maple neck that features a comfortable C-profile and a walnut center stringer, this guitar sports a medium-dark laurel fingerboard with Mother-of-Pearl Graduated Crown inlays. The headstock is topped with eye-catching Epiphone Deluxe tuning buttons and gold-plated hardware. 

Stocked with L.R. Baggs onboard electronics, the '57 SJ-200 reproduces its acoustic nuances beautifully. This integrated pickup system, featuring a soundhole mounted volume and tone knob, offers convenient tone control while maintaining the guitar's sleek appearance. Purchase includes a hardshell case with the "Inspired by Gibson" logo.
