Description:
Lightly aged to mimic the wear of a well-loved vintage classic, Gibson Acoustic’s 1957 SJ-200 Murphy Lab Light Aged is an immaculate replica of Gibson’s legendary Super Jumbo model. It all starts with a thermally aged Sitka spruce top, providing you with all the sonic depth and vintage character you’d expect from a half-century-old 6-string.
A massive Super Jumbo-sized body with maple back and sides produces superb sonic balance across the spectrum, with growling lows, forward midrange, and beautifully bell-like highs. On the opposite end, you get a sturdy maple neck carved into a period-correct "Historic" profile, topped with stunning rosewood, and then finished with graduated crown mother-of-pearl inlays.
Finally, it simply wouldn’t be “king of the flat-tops” without an array of royal appointments — the 1957 SJ-200 Murphy Lab Light Aged boasts all the high-end aesthetics of an authentic 1957 model, including the iconic “mustache” bridge, stylish headstock stinger, floral-themed pickguard, and multi-ply binding on just about every inch of this superlative 6-string.
