Bob Dylan SJ-200 Player`s Edition Unveiled

Dedicated to arguably the greatest artist alive, new SJ-200 Player`s Edition confirms standards set by it`s Collector`s Edition predecessor and adds supreme L.R. Baggs electronics.

With a stellar career of more than five decades and a status of one of United States` premier musicians, Bob Dylan is rightfully considered as one of the greatest artists alive. Member of several halls of fame, author of countless awarded artworks spanning several branches of art, Mr. Dylan is also one of the most important and most revered signature artists in Gibson`s catalog. From the very beginnings in the early `60s, Bob Dylan has set himself apart from both the country and rock acts of the time with his own eclectic tonal delivery and mesmerizing lyrics which offered a unique insight into the very depths of human soul. Free of labels and genre definitions, Dylan`s music has carved it`s path through the decades and still remains unbelievably current and relevant, continuing to inspire both the fans and fellow musicians. To honor Bob Dylan`s enduring legacy, Gibson`s acoustic department has come up with a pair of exclusive steel-stringers near the end of 2014. First, the limited Collector`s Edition model was launched, with the Player`s Edition following quickly. In the review section of this article we`ll focus on the latter model, highlighting it`s most important features and appointments.

Gibson Acoustic Bob Dylan SJ-200 Player`s Edition, though costing fifty percent less, offers even more than it`s ultra-exclusive Collector sibling. Style wise-there is no significant difference between these two, as both feature flamed maple-spruce body with scalloped bracing, double pickguards and mustache bridges. Also, the flamed maple necks with rounded profiles and 20-fret rosewood fingerboards are found on both models. But, what sets the Player`s model apart is the presence of L.R. Baggs electronics. Anthem pickup and it`s sound hole-mounted preamp give this big flat-top a whole new dimension, allowing it to be used in studio and on stage. Some of the finest points of the Player`s Edition include gold-plated hardware, Dylan Eye inlay on the headstock and richly decorated dual pickguards.
