Iconic Super Jumbo Shape and Style
The SJ-200’s oversized Super Jumbo body shape produces bold, balanced sonics with articulate lows, warm mids and shimmering highs. Mother-of-pearl appointments, multi-ply binding and an ornate pickguard give the SJ-200 an elegance that matches its impressive voice. When you step on stage with the SJ-200, you’re making a statement with this historically beloved instrument.
Premium Tonewoods for a Lifetime of Sound
A thermally aged solid Sitka spruce top provides the foundation for the SJ-200’s expansive tone, noted for its natural resonance and superior musicality. The solid figured maple back and sides reproduce crystal-clear midrange frequencies, tight, focused bass and plenty of top end with a responsive, pronounced attack. The solid-wood Epiphone 1957 SJ-200 is built to last a lifetime—as these carefully chosen tonewoods age, they give the instrument a hearty, “broken-in” sound that sings with tons of vintage vibe.
Comfortable, Easy-Playing Neck
The Epiphone 1957 SJ-200 has a flame maple neck carved to a smooth C shape that plays easy and feels like home. The laurel fingerboard and 20 medium-jumbo frets provide a comfortable surface under your fingers, while graduated crown mother-of-pearl inlays add a touch of ageless sophistication. A classic Gibson “open book” headstock authentically pays tribute to the original 1957 SJ-200 and gives the Epiphone homage a distinguished appearance.
Onboard Electronics for Stage and Studio
The SJ-200 features L.R. Baggs bronze piezo electronics so you can plug in and share your music with the world. These reliable electronics capture the natural tone of the guitar with minimal coloration, so you don't have to compromise the SJ-200’s signature unplugged sound just to be heard on stage. Controls mounted inside the soundhole provide simple and intuitive operation, while not detracting from the guitar’s refined aesthetic. When it’s time to "go loud," you can easily amplify the Epiphone 1957 SJ-200 for live performance or direct recording in the studio.
