As part of the Artisan Series, the SJ‑200 Elegant Koa is built with meticulous attention to detail, offering elevated aesthetics that complement its impressive acoustic character. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis model pairs koa back and sides with a AAA Sitka spruce top. Koa is admired for its striking figure and naturally lively response, sharing some of maple’s high‑end clarity while developing greater warmth and complexity as it opens up over time. A three‑rope marquetry strip accents the center of the koa back, adding to its visual appeal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA mahogany neck carved to a comfortable Round profile supports a bound rosewood fretboard fitted with 20 frets and elegant abalone graduated crown inlays. The single‑ply bound headstock showcases the Gibson logo and crown rendered in abalone, accompanied by a TUSQ® nut and gold‑plated Grover® Rotomatic® tuners. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rosewood SJ‑200 two‑bar moustache™ bridge features abalone bar inlays, with a TUSQ saddle and TUSQ bridge pins completing the setup. While SJ‑200 pickguards are known for intricate floral artwork, this version stands apart with a tortoise‑shell‑colored guard highlighted by abalone dot inlays and a silver‑foil stamp that produces a vivid, shifting iridescence from different angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor stage and studio use, the SJ‑200 Elegant Koa arrives equipped with L.R. Baggs™ Anthem electronics, combining an under‑saddle Element pickup with an internal microphone and preamp to capture a full, natural acoustic sound. Volume, mix, phase, and battery‑check controls are neatly positioned at the soundhole’s edge for quick access while remaining discreet from an audience’s viewpoint. A Gibson Custom hardshell case is included for reliable protection during transport or storage.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eSince its debut in 1937, the SJ‑200 has been embraced by performers ranging from classic Hollywood singing cowboys to country icons, folk pioneers, and rock legends, appearing on countless stages and recordings. Its bold projection, exceptional tonal depth, and unmistakable visual presence have earned it the enduring title of “The King of the Flat‑Tops.” The SJ‑200 Elegant Koa extends this celebrated tradition with premium appointments and koa’s distinctive tonal richness. It offers players an instrument that makes an unmistakable impression both visually and sonically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Binding: Multi-Ply Top and Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Material: Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSides Material: Koa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Material: Koa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: SJ-200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoint: Dovetail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Material: Abalone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12 in. | 304.8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Single-Ply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5 in. | 647.7 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: 2-Bar Moustache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Material: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: SJ-200, Tortoiseshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Grover Rotomatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle Material: TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup System: L.R.
