A stunning recreation of the guitar used by Elvis in live performance, now with L.R. Baggs electronics.
Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, was an owner and frequent user of multiple Gibson SJ-200 acoustic guitars. The original is known as the "King of the Flat-Tops," and this Gibson Elvis SJ-200 acoustic-electric is based on a guitar that was given to Elvis as a gift at a recording session at Studio B in Nashville in the mid-1960s. He used the guitar for numerous live performances. Elvis gave it to his aide and close friend Marty Lacker at Graceland in 1976. This modern Elvis SJ-200 features a maple back, sides and neck, as well as a Sitka spruce top. It also has all of the attractive SJ-200 touches, including mother-of-pearl inlays, the iconic Moustache bridge and graduated crown inlays, and has the addition of L.R. Baggs VTC electronics for reliable, transparent plugged-in performances. A hardshell case is included for portable protection.
