Solid Sitka Spruce Top and Maple Body
This Super Jumbo pairs a thermally aged solid Sitka spruce top with solid figured maple back and sides, giving it a fast, punchy response with strong note separation. The maple keeps the low end tight and controlled, while the spruce adds clarity and headroom, making it especially effective for heavy strumming and vocal accompaniment.
Dynamic Response and Projection
Scalloped X bracing helps the top move efficiently, so the guitar responds quickly to both light and aggressive playing. It stays articulate when you dig in, with chords that remain defined and a top end that doesn’t crumble under pressure.
Neck Feel and Playability
The two piece flame maple neck with walnut stringer is shaped into a comfortable C profile that feels familiar right away. Paired with a bound Indian rosewood fingerboard and 20 frets, it offers a smooth, consistent feel across the entire neck without fighting your hand.
Stage Ready Electronics
The L R Baggs Element Bronze VTC system translates the guitar’s natural voice without adding harshness. Soundhole mounted controls keep adjustments simple while maintaining a clean, traditional look.
Classic SJ 200 Design
From the rosewood moustache bridge with mother of pearl inlays to the open book headstock, every detail reflects the original design. This is a Super Jumbo built for players who want strong projection, clear fundamentals, and a reliable plugged in option.
