Gibson 1957 SJ-200 Vintage Sunburst Murphy Lab Light Aged

The 1957 SJ-200 Reimagined, with the Character Only Decades Can Impart

For generations, the Gibson SJ-200 has been the instrument of choice for artists who need a big, full tone. This 1957 Murphy Lab Light Aged reproduces the original in the smallest detail. The thermally aged Sitka Spruce top is the heart of the guitar: the thermal treatment simulates the natural aging of wood over decades, resulting in a more open, responsive sound that new guitars cannot match. Combined with the Murphy Lab Light Aging on the nitrocellulose lacquer, the instrument immediately gets the vibe and feel of an original from Gibson's golden era.

The flamed maple back and sides give the SJ-200 its characteristic warm clarity and excellent projection. The distinctive Four Bar Moustache bridge, Mother-of-Pearl trapezoid crown inlays, and Gotoh Keystone tuners are historically accurately reproduced. The 2-piece maple neck with a Rounded profile and 25.5-inch scale length gives this instrument the full, solid playing feel that belongs to a Super Jumbo of this size.

The maple neck carries a rosewood fretboard with 20 frets and a bone nut. Back, sides, and bridge feature multiple layers of binding for the typical SJ-200 grandeur. Delivered in a period-correct hardshell case. The 1957 SJ-200 Murphy Lab Light Aged is not a guitar that whispers. This is an instrument that fills the room.
