The Gibson Murphy Lab 1957 SJ-200 Light Aged (2023) is a masterbuilt recreation of Gibson’s iconic “King of the Flat-Tops,” hand-crafted by the Gibson Custom Shop and aged by the Murphy Lab for a beautifully authentic vintage look and feel.
Finished in Vintage Sunburst with Light Aged treatment, this guitar shows subtle lacquer checking and hardware aging, replicating the look of a well-cared-for 1957 original. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and maple back and sides, the SJ-200 delivers the bold, commanding tone it’s famous for, with deep lows, sparkling highs, and superb projection.
The two-piece maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard ensures smooth playability, while the classic mother-of-pearl crown inlays and ornate moustache bridge with inlaid mother-of-pearl add to its timeless aesthetic. With a 25.5″ scale length and 1.725″ nut width, it provides exceptional comfort for both rhythm and fingerstyle playing.
This 2023 Gibson Murphy Lab 1957 SJ-200 Light Aged is in mint condition, complete with its original Gibson Custom Shop case and certificate of authenticity.
