Description

As distinct in size and shape as it is tonally unique, the new SJ-100 is true to its origins in both brilliant tone and reasonable price. An American original with simple appointments, this great Gibson flat-top is an attractive, high-quality guitar that embodies the power and prowess of the Super Jumbo line. The SJ-100 is the fitting cousin of the legendary SJ-200—the “King of the Flat-Tops”—based on the same distinctive shape and proportions, but with more modest, historic appointments that appeal to many players. Handcrafted from solid tone woods, the spruce top and mahogany back and sides produce superb tone, deep bass and projection, with a sophisticated look in your choice of Vintage Sunburst or Antique Natural hand-sprayed nitrocellulose lacquer. The unique, vintage Super Jumbo bridge is inspired by the originals from 1941 and found on only a few models from that time. The simple terraced pick guard in fire stripe nitrocellulose is a replica of the first SJ-100s from 1939. Equipped with a Baggs Element pickup, the SJ-100 is ready to respond to whatever performance circumstances demand.

Critic Reviews

Gibson’s 1941 SJ-100 | Vintage Guitar® magazine

vintageguitar.com

The 1941 Gibson SJ-100 Reissue is a triumph for vintage guitar enthusiasts, offering a rich "portable piano" tone with impressive sustain and string definition. Its jumbo body shape and mahogany build deliver a hyper-responsive sound perfect for both soft strumming and aggressive picking. Though the factory setup is slightly high, this is standard for Gibson and easily adjusted by dealers. The craftsmanship is notable, marred only by minor cosmetic issues. Ideal for those seeking the big Gibson sound without the ornate flair of a J-200, it shines as a comfortable, loud, and high-quality option.
