“The ultimate Gibson acoustic to date”: Gibson spares no expense to celebrate its 100th Monarch SJ-200 – a one-of-one Brazilian rosewood build that costs $99,999

Gibson has unveiled a “museum-worthy work of art” with its 100th Gibson Custom SJ-200 Monarch. The acoustic guitar essentially takes the much-loved SJ-200 and fits it with exquisite trimmings fit for royalty.

Its origins date back to the mid-’90s, when an “ultimate edition” of the Super Jumbo acoustic was prepared for NAMM, with details like pearloid crown inlays – a nod to the original SJ-200 inlays – showcasing its pristine craftsmanship.
