In this excerpt from our complete Gibson Acoustic buyer’s guide, which you can watch HERE: • How To Choose The BEST... Gibson Gear Guide host Dinesh Lekhraj gives us a brief rundown of the Gibson SJ-200 and finds out why this is regarded as the ultimate big box strummer, perfect for holding down the rhythm with big chords, and the perfect singer-songwriter acoustic guitar.
In this quick demo, watch as Dinesh demonstrates how the Gibson SJ-200 has an increased low-end and more projection compared with smaller-bodied acoustic guitars and how that really helps you stand out in the mix when playing live acoustic sessions or recording.
As for features, the Gibson SJ-200 boasts a stunning maple back and sides, along with a maple neck that beautifully balances the guitar’s lower frequencies with its overall projection - it’s beautifully resonant and comfortable to play.
This unique combination of woods provides a nice balance between light and dark tones, making it versatile for various playing styles including country, blues - ANYTHING!
For playing live, using an amplifier or PA system, players will be happy to know it comes equipped with advanced electronics, as the SJ-200 features the L.R. Baggs™ Anthem system, including an under-saddle pickup and a condenser microphone tucked away inside the body.
This setup captures all the sound circulating inside, adding more presence and atmosphere to your live sound which gives you a near-perfect representation of the acoustic guitar’s sound even when you’re playing into a PA system or going direct.
Plus, additional controls for the gigging musician, such as the phase cancellation switch and blend option, allow you to fine-tune your sound to perfection, which is ideal for performers who need a gigging acoustic guitar they can rely on.
If you’re trying to buy your first Gibson acoustic guitar (or THIRD!) and you’re wondering why the Gibson SJ-200 is so popular, why so many artists rely on it, or whether the SJ-200 is the best Gibson acoustic guitar for you, this SJ-200 demo shows that it’s a definite go-to for anyone looking for a bigger-sounding acoustic that has a full-bodied sound with instant presence.
PLUS it looks cool too!

The Rolls Royce of Acoustic Guitars ❤
Your absolutely right sir💕
I’m extremely fortunate to own a Gibson Custom Shop Bob Dylan SJ-200 Player’s Edition. Immaculate attention to detail in its design has created an instrument of exquisite beauty. Sonically, its sound is singularly sensational and so unique that it’s instantly recognisable. My mentor was Pete Townshend, and he played a natural finish on a countless number of his compositions. If my memory serves me well, Pete used his SJ-200 as a songwriting tool. Listen to many of Pete’s demo tapes and you will hear the distinctive sound of acoustic royalty… the Gibson SJ-200.
Wow thanks for sharing!
When you say Pete Townsend was your "mentor" do you mean your inspiration? Or do you literally know him and he guides you?
I bought mine in 2012. Best acoustic gibson
Love the SJ-200! It's great that Gibson has released a 'Rosewood' model in their standard line up too. Cheers
