Pulling from the lengthy legacy of Gibson flat-tops, today's Gibson Custom Shop 1957 SJ-200 Light Aged is a royal recreation. The guitar, following in the example set by Gibson's '50s flat-top classics, assumes the essence of Gibson's original "King of the Flat-Tops" for the players of today.

The Gibson Custom model that we have with us here today throws it over to pre-war and Depression-era Gibson models of the time. The Great Depression, exerting its weight on the musical instrument market of the day, drove Gibson to swap its SJ-200s' rosewood back and sides to maple as the company moved into a post-war moment. Gibson's Super Jumbo SJ-200 became an icon for the new '50s Hollywood cowboys, folk artists, country stars, and rock movers and shakers. Today's 1957 SJ-200 Light Aged assembles with reverence toward the 1950s originals.

The Gibson Custom Shop 1957 SJ-200 Light Aged is a faithful recreation with accurate material choices and ornate appointments. This all kicks off with a Gibson Super Jumbo body brought together with a thermally aged Sitka spruce top and AAA flame maple back and sides. The AAA flame maple, appearing here for the historic use of maple in '50s SJ-200s, contributes to an excellent sonic profile. With the superb voice Super Jumbos are known for, the AAA flame maple and Sitka spruce play wonderfully as the thermally aged spruce imparts a lived-in quality usually reserved for much older guitars.

Moving on, the 1957 SJ-200 introduces a two-piece AAA maple neck in a Rounded profile. This neck fits comfortably into the palm, making for seamless playing. A walnut stringer appears along the length of the neck alongside a stinger on the back of the headstock for a geometric motif. The guitar's bound rosewood fingerboard features twenty standard-sized frets with Mother of Pearl graduated crown fret inlays.

This Gibson Custom Shop model is decked with ornate appointments and hardware to make the model a visual and tangible masterpiece. First, multi-ply top and back binding wraps the curvature of the Super Jumbo body. Second, a bone nut, saddle, and bridge pins grounds strings stably. The model's tortoise pickguard features classic SJ-200 graphics while a rosewood SJ-200 Four Bar Moustache bridge with Mother of Pearl inlays grounds strings at the base of the scale.

Wrapping this all up, we have the "Light Aged' in "1957 SJ-200 Light Aged" with a particular contribution from the Gibson Custom Shop's Murphy Lab division. The Murphy Lab's Light Aged finish treatment works to visually and tangibly age the guitar's lacquer into a rich and refined result. This Gibson Custom model travels with an included period-correct hardshell case.

For fans of '50s acoustics, there's little place else you can go to get closer to an original than the 1957 SJ-200 Light Aged acoustic.

Classic and expensive looking
Color: Vintage Green, Color: Vintage Green
Love this addition to our bust collection! The dark green really looks like old metal. A bit on the small size but true to specs. This is still a great looking bust but it's just not very large. I suggest 14-16 inches or over if you want something more substantial.

Dermatologist recommended it!
Size: 1.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is my 11th order of this product. I originally started using it a few years ago when my dermatologist recommended it during a period of hormonal acne. I’ve been using it ever since. I have very sensitive skin that usually reacts to almost everything, either with redness or breakouts, but I can use this cream comfortably without any issues. It is very gentle, deeply hydrating, and has become a permanent part of my skincare routine. It is definitely worth the price. Even a small amount provides excellent hydration and it lasts a long time. I also love that it has a natural ingredients and is fragrance-free.

Game changer.
Size: 1.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I moved out to Arizona back in 2020 and shortly after that, I became a reptile. My skin would become flaky and peel and I tried several different types of facial creams and lotions with no luck. I went to a dermatologist who recommended CeraVe, and it did help my skin to an extent. It took care of the flakiness, but I would still see the dryness, especially when I looked in the mirror up close. I recently was on Google doing a search and came across this brand. I thought I’d give them a try and though I was skeptical, my skin has not looked this good in years. My skin feels smooth, hydrated and NO greasiness. I highly recommend this product.

I have dry not so sensitive skin. I love the way this smells and feels on my tired parched face.
