A Sitka spruce top provides clear and powerful trebles

Sitka spruce wood is one of the most popular materials in guitar making due to its fine structure and extraordinarily clear sound development and produces very set and clear treble frequencies that are able to express every single note in a very differentiated and clean way. Thanks to a thermal treatment of the wood, the Gibson 1957 SJ-200 Light Aged Natural has a very fast response, which is further enhanced by Scalloped X bracingBracing:

Back and sides made from the finest flamed maple

Strong flames shimmer brighter or darker through the Natural Finish depending on the viewing angle, creating the even structures in the grain, giving the instrument a unique appearance.
