"KING OF THE FLAT-TOPS" 1940 original SJ-200

Gibson / 1940 SJ-200

"The "King of the Flat-Tops", the J-200, still reigns as Gibson's flagship model.

In 1937, Ray Whitley, a popular western movie actor and singer, collaborated with Gibson to develop a jumbo-sized guitar, which led to the introduction of the SUPER JUMBO "200" in 1938.

It has been used by many musicians such as Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, George Harrison (The Beatles), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Pete Townsend (The Who), Emmylou Harris, Edge (U2), and Ron Wood (Rolling Stones). The King of acoustic guitars has been used by many musicians and has graced the stages of legendary musicians.

This is the original SJ-200 made in 1940.

The number of original SJ-200s manufactured between 1938 and 1941 is recorded to be 96, making it an extremely rare model, comparable to the 91 so-called Pre-War D-45s.

This one has a rosewood sideback, which is typical of prewar specifications, and also features an ebony mustache bridge with independent adjustable saddles for each string.

The pickguard has a late 50's pattern, and the bracing structure of the body top suggests that it was factory retoped in the 50's. The pickguard has a late 50's pattern, and the bracing structure of the body top suggests that it was factory retoped in the 50's.
Nowadays, 50's J-200 is also a valuable vintage.
The combination of the two is almost impossible to find today, so you can understand how special and extravagant this particular piece is.

Script logo and crown inlay are shining on the head,
The back of the stinger-embossed head is equipped with a Kluson Seal Fast Tuner with a strong presence of peg buttons.

The ultimate feature is the strap-pin fixing hardware attached to the head and body end. This is also an original specification of prewar SJ-200, and you can fully feel the charm from these vintage parts.

Only a limited number of people can have this vintage supreme.
In terms of sound, this is a great guitar that is distinctly different from the post-reproduction J-200, and you can experience the tremendous volume of this guitar.
