Gibson SJ-200 Standard Maple Review

Truly a magnificent guitar! The Gibson SJ-200 in Wine Red…you’ll want to play John Cougar Mellencamps’ CHERRY BOMB song …Awsome!!!

You must have this guitar if you are a serious acoustic guitar enthusiast! It begins with the overall appearance which is stunning to say the least, however, when you play your first chord you know exactly why you made the decision to purchase one. I recommend you select the Wine Red finish. It is so deep, rich and luxurious you will not be able to set it down, you will just… read more want to keep on playing it, as do my fellow musicians that play with me. Plugged into my Electro Voice EVOLVE 50 system with a Behringer XR18, the LR Baggs factory installed Anthem Electronics system delivers ALL those famous deep rich bass tones and the crisp clear mid and high tones that this instrument is famous for producing. The Gibson quality is everywhere on this instrument and, like a previous review stated,…"It's like playing a 9' Grand Piano". I now want to take this to every performance I play. Get yours NOW! If you do not have a contact at Sweetwater, call and ask for Evan Neiman. I have been dealing with him for years and he will absolutely take care of you from start to finish…Evan will never be satisfied until YOU are satisfied!

The amplified signal truly represents the guitar well. The nitro finish is beautiful, and the pickguard is just so much fun to look at. This is truly a statement piece for live performance, and that statement is, "Worth It!"

Gibson SJ-200

Great guitar. Big, fat, even sound across all strings. Like playing a 9' grand piano. Comfortable neck, wider across the fingerboard than my Martin. Craftsmanship is excellent down to the finest detail.
