Description
Here's the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1957 SJ-200 Reissue in Antique Natural; a modern take on one of the most iconic jumbo acoustics ever built. If you're a gigging songwriter, country or rock player, or just want that classic "King of the Flat-Tops" look and feel in your lineup, this is worth a close look. It brings the vibe of the original 1957 Super Jumbo, but makes it accessible for today's musicians.
This model delivers an all-solid wood build, with a thermally aged Sitka spruce top, figured maple back and sides, and scalloped X-bracing for powerful projection and depth. The two-piece flame maple neck has a comfortable C profile, Indian rosewood fingerboard, and vintage-inspired graduated crown inlays. The bone nut, saddle, and bridge pins add to the tone and sustain, and the open "two-bar moustache" bridge and SJ-200 pickguard look just right. For stage or studio, you're set up with the L.R. Baggs Element Bronze VTC pickup and easy-access soundhole controls.
Playability is excellent, nice action, stable tuning, and a neck profile that feels good whether you're strumming or playing leads. Everything's wrapped up in a Red Line-inspired hardshell case, so you're ready for the road. We're confident this SJ-200 Reissue will deliver the look, feel, and sound you're after without missing a beat.
