The King of the Flat Tops meets the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll! This guitar’s decked-out ebony look is based on a model that Elvis Presley commonly used live in the mid-1960s, gifted to him in the legendary RCA Studio B in Nashville. Apart from the stark black finish that perfectly complements a white rhinestone jumpsuit (not included), the Gibson Acoustic-electric Elvis SJ-200 features a blinged-out bridge with mother-of-pearl hourglass and teardrop inlays, gold Grover keystone tuners, and a truss rod cover emblazoned with the King’s name. Once you get past the royal adornments, this guitar is a jumbo powerhouse, boasting the classic SJ-200 combo of a Sitka spruce top and maple back and sides — ideal for strumming out huge, punchy chords. Plus, if you’re looking to bust out some classic Elvis tunes at your next gig, the inclusion of an LR Baggs VTC pickup means that this guitar is stage ready right out of the box!
