Description
Elvis Presley was an owner & frequent user of multiple Gibson SJ-200 acoustic guitars. The Gibson Elvis SJ-200 is based on a guitar that was given to him as a gift at a recording session at RCA Studio B in Nashville in the mid '60s. He used the guitar for numerous live performances. Elvis gave it to his aide & close friend Marty Lacker at Graceland in 1976. The guitar features a maple back, sides & neck as well as a Sitka spruce top & comes equipped with an LR Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup.
