Epiphone 1957 SJ-200 Reissue (Incl. Hard Case) Vintage Sunburst

The Gibson SJ-200™ was introduced to the world in 1937 and quickly earned the nickname “The King of the flat-Tops” due to its physical size, high-quality sound, exceptional projection, and undeniable stage presence. While the early models used rosewood, in 1947 the wood used for the sides and back changed to maple.

The SJ-200 has been used by everyone — from matinee cowboys to folk troubadours, country crooners to rock royalty — and vintage SJ-200 models are in high demand among collectors.

Now, epiphone, in collaboration with Gibson Custom, is proud to introduce the 1957 SJ-200 Reissue, an Inspired by Gibson Custom recreation of the majestic 1957 Super Jumbo model, making it more accessible for today’s guitarists to enjoy.

The bound, Gibson-style “open book” headstock features the epiphone logo and Gibson Crown, both inlaid in mother-of-pearl.

The rear of the headstock on the Antique Natural model includes a stinger (note: the Vintage Sunburst version does not have a stinger).

The 1957 SJ-200 Reissue also includes an Inspired by Gibson Custom Double Diamond logo etched on the back of the headstock.

To make it even more suitable for modern musicians, the guitar comes equipped with an under-saddle L.R. Baggs™ Element Bronze VTC piezo pickup and active preamp, with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls pre-installed — so it’s stage- and studio-ready right out of the case.

The instrument ships in a Red Line-inspired hardshell case, featuring Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics, ensuring your guitar is protected in style.
