WAYS TO PAY:
Elvis Presley, the undisputed King of Rock and Roll, was known for his electrifying stage presence and his soulful voice. Amongst his collection, the Gibson SJ-200, affectionately known as the "King of the Flat-Tops," held a special place. Now, Gibson has meticulously recreated a stunning tribute to this iconic instrument with the Elvis SJ-200 Ebony.
This particular SJ-200 is a recreation of the guitar gifted to Elvis at an RCA Studio B recording session in the mid-1960s, a guitar he would use extensively in live performances, becoming a staple of his stage shows. Imagine holding the very same model, feeling the resonance that once filled concert halls around the world. This guitar eventually found its way to Elvis's close friend and aide, Marty Lacker, as a gift in 1976, cementing its place in rock and roll lore.
The Gibson Elvis SJ-200 Ebony boasts a premium tonewood combination. The back, sides, and neck are crafted from select maple, providing a bright, articulate tone with excellent projection. This is complemented by a Sitka spruce top, renowned for its balanced response and rich harmonic overtones. The result is an instrument that sings with clarity and power, perfect for both strumming and fingerpicking.
The guitar's aesthetic details are as impressive as its sonic qualities. The classic SJ-200 design elements are all present, including the eye-catching mother of pearl inlays that adorn the fingerboard, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. The iconic Moustache bridge, another hallmark of the SJ-200, not only looks stunning but also contributes to the guitar's exceptional tone. The graduated crown inlays further enhance the instrument's visual appeal, making it a true work of art.
Beyond its historical significance and stunning looks, the Elvis SJ-200 is a player's dream. The rounded neck profile provides a comfortable feel in the hand, allowing for effortless playing across the fretboard. The Indian rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and sustain to the tone, while the bone nut ensures optimal string vibration transfer. It's equipped with an LR Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup, allowing you to amplify the guitar's natural tone with exceptional clarity and minimal colouration. Whether you're performing on stage or recording in the studio, this pickup system will capture the nuances of your playing with remarkable accuracy.
The Gibson Elvis SJ-200 Ebony comes complete with a Gibson hardshell case, providing superior protection for your investment. This ensures that your guitar will remain safe and sound for years to come.
