The Gibson Elvis SJ-200 - A Tribute to the King of Rock 'n' Roll
Introducing the Gibson Elvis SJ-200 in stunning Ebony – a faithful homage to the legendary guitar gifted to Elvis Presley during a recording session at RCA Studio B in Nashville during the mid-1960s. This iconic acoustic guitar accompanied Elvis through numerous live performances before being passed on to his close friend and aide, Marty Lacker, at Graceland in 1976.
Renowned as the "King of the Flat-Tops," the Gibson SJ-200 was a staple in Elvis's collection. The Gibson Elvis SJ-200 continues this tradition, boasting premium craftsmanship with a maple back, sides, and neck, paired with a Sitka spruce top for outstanding tonal clarity and projection. This masterpiece is enriched with classic SJ-200 aesthetics, including mother of pearl inlays, the iconic Moustache™ bridge, and graduated crown inlays that elevate its visual appeal. To ensure stage-ready performance, the guitar is fitted with an LR Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup, delivering warm, natural acoustic tones.
