Selling my 2012 Gibson SJ-200 True Vintage, in excellent condition with original hardshell case and paperwork. This is one of the most sought-after SJ-200 runs, built in Bozeman, Montana, with specs and materials Gibson no longer uses.
Key details:
Madagascar Rosewood fretboard & mustache bridge (no longer available on any Gibson due to international restrictions)
Solid spruce top, flame maple back/sides
Hand-scalloped X-bracing for vintage projection & resonance
Iconic engraved pickguard and crown inlays
Original brown/pink Gibson case with paperwork included
This Madagascar rosewood detail is significant — after federal raids on Gibson’s wood stock in 2009/2011, this species was phased out entirely. It is no longer legally harvested or available, making these True Vintage models both collectible and tonally unique.
The guitar is in excellent condition with minimal play wear. Big, balanced tone and gorgeous aesthetics — the “King of the Flat-Tops.”
