Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built as a right-handed, six-string SJ-200 with a Thermally Aged Sitka spruce top and flame maple back and sides. The construction pairs traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing and hide glue with a 25.5-inch scale, 20 frets, and a round neck shape. Its Vintage Sunburst finish, VOS nitrocellulose treatment, bone nut and saddle, and SJ-200 Four Bar Moustache bridge give it a deliberately period-focused presentation. A case and Gibson Accessory Kit are included.
