Description
If you’ve ever wanted to feel as close as possible to cutting some acoustic on a track in Nashville in the 1960’s, this guitar sure is likely to do the trick for you. This Elvis SJ-200's blueprints go back to a guitar that was gifted to the rock ‘n roll icon at RCA Studio B. Elvis was not shy about plenty of things, and he was definitely not shy about his love for playing Gibson flat tops. How could he be? It’s as if the SJ-200 itself was engineered for him. A booming box of sound, voiced perfectly by pairing a Sitka spruce top with maple back and sides. Visually a perfect counterpoint to Elvis’s personal style, who was always sporting white, this guitar’s Ebony finish rivals looking deep into the night sky. Mother of Pearl shimmers like star light on both the Indian rosewood fingerboard and Moustache bridge, highlighting the superb craftsmanship of Gibson’s acoustic crew. It doesn’t matter if you’re a collector, live player, studio dweller, couch strummer, or all of the above. This guitar has a special use for anyone, being inspired by one of the greatest performers this world has ever seen.
