Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gibson Custom’s Pre-War SJ-200 Rosewood is a right-handed, six-string acoustic in the SJ-200 body style. It combines a thermally aged red spruce top, rosewood back and sides, and traditional scalloped red spruce X-bracing. The two-piece AAA maple neck includes a walnut stringer and a D profile, while the bound ebony fingerboard carries 20 frets over a 25.5-inch scale. Murphy Lab Light Aging gives the finish its aged treatment, and a pre-war red-line hardshell case is included.
