Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Antique Natural 1957 SJ-200 is a right-handed six-string acoustic built around a Thermally Aged Sitka spruce top, flame maple back and sides, and rosewood fingerboard. It carries a 25.5-inch scale, 20 frets, round neck profile, bone nut and saddle, and an SJ-200 Four Bar Moustache bridge. Traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing with hide glue is part of the build, while the thin VOS nitrocellulose finish keeps the finish treatment aligned with its vintage-directed design.
