Description

This 1953 Gibson SJ-200 is a stunning example of Gibson’s flagship jumbo, delivering the bold, resonant tone these guitars are known for. The maple back and sides provide clarity and projection, while the refinished spruce top has opened up beautifully over time. A repaired center seam top crack ensures structural integrity without compromising its rich sound. With its iconic mustache bridge, ornate pickguard, and warm, balanced voice, this SJ-200 remains a powerhouse for both strumming and fingerpicking. For the full repair history, check out the Specs tab. Includes the original hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
