The world-famous SJ-200 is known as the ?King of the Flat-Tops,? and It?s been the choice of countless legends, from singing cowboys to country, folk, and rock icons, right up to some of today?s most popular artists.

The iconic J-200? open moustache bridge and engraved pickguard are also present, along with a compensated bone saddle, bone nut, and bone bridge pins. It even comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs?
