GIBSON Elvis SJ200 Ebony
The new GIBSON Elvis SJ200 in this beautiful Ebony is based on a guitar that was given to Elvis as a gift at a recording session at RCA Studio B in Nashville in the mid-1960s. Elvis used the guitar for numerous live performances and then gave it to his aide and close friend Marty Lacker at Graceland in 1976.
Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, was an owner and frequent user of multiple Gibson SJ-200 acoustic guitars also called the "King of the Flat-Tops."
The GIBSON Elvis SJ200 features a maple back, sides, and neck, as well as a Sitka spruce top. It also has all of the attractive SJ-200 touches, including mother of pearl inlays, and the iconic Moustache™ bridge and graduated crown inlays and comes equipped with an LR Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup.
A hardshell case is included.
