Pulling from the lengthy legacy of Gibson flat-tops, today's Gibson Custom Shop 1957 SJ-200 Light Aged is a royal recreation. The guitar, following in the example set by Gibson's '50s flat-top classics, assumes the essence of Gibson's original "King of the Flat-Tops" for the players of today.

The Gibson Custom model that we have with us here today throws it over to pre-war and Depression-era Gibson models of the time. The Great Depression, exerting its weight on the musical instrument market of the day, drove Gibson to swap its SJ-200s' rosewood back and sides to maple as the company moved into a post-war moment. Gibson's Super Jumbo SJ-200 became an icon for the new '50s Hollywood cowboys, folk artists, country stars, and rock movers and shakers. Today's 1957 SJ-200 Light Aged assembles with reverence toward the 1950s originals.

The Gibson Custom Shop 1957 SJ-200 Light Aged is a faithful recreation with accurate material choices and ornate appointments. This all kicks off with a Gibson Super Jumbo body brought together with a thermally aged Sitka spruce top and AAA flame maple back and sides. The AAA flame maple, appearing here for the historic use of maple in '50s SJ-200s, contributes to an excellent sonic profile. With the superb voice Super Jumbos are known for, the AAA flame maple and Sitka spruce play wonderfully as the thermally aged spruce imparts a lived-in quality usually reserved for much older guitars.

Moving on, the 1957 SJ-200 introduces a two-piece AAA maple neck in a Rounded profile. This neck fits comfortably into the palm, making for seamless playing. A walnut stringer appears along the length of the neck alongside a stinger on the back of the headstock for a geometric motif. The guitar's bound rosewood fingerboard features twenty standard-sized frets with Mother of Pearl graduated crown fret inlays.

This Gibson Custom Shop model is decked with ornate appointments and hardware to make the model a visual and tangible masterpiece. First, multi-ply top and back binding wraps the curvature of the Super Jumbo body. Second, a bone nut, saddle, and bridge pins grounds strings stably. The model's tortoise pickguard features classic SJ-200 graphics while a rosewood SJ-200 Four Bar Moustache bridge with Mother of Pearl inlays grounds strings at the base of the scale.

Wrapping this all up, we have the "Light Aged' in "1957 SJ-200 Light Aged" with a particular contribution from the Gibson Custom Shop's Murphy Lab division. The Murphy Lab's Light Aged finish treatment works to visually and tangibly age the guitar's lacquer into a rich and refined result. This Gibson Custom model travels with an included period-correct hardshell case.

For fans of '50s acoustics, there's little place else you can go to get closer to an original than the 1957 SJ-200 Light Aged acoustic.

Great!
Size: 4 Pieces
I have a mini Australian Shepherd (37 lbs) and she loves this! She can get level one but has a tougher time with level 2. I have tried 3 but she gives up so she hasn't gotten further than that lol. She is quite stubborn and gives up easy if she can't figure something out and is totally over it. The quality is great as it is thick and not easy to destroy. My fur baby does love it, she seems to think it is fun for at least an hour so it is worth it in my eyes. There are times I have to do something that takes longer and I just can't play with her so this is perfect for her. It was definitely worth the money

Keeps Aussie Entertained for Hours
Size: 4 Pieces, Size: 4 Pieces
This puzzle toy has quickly become one of my dog’s favorite sources of entertainment. It keeps him busy, challenged, and happy. The variety of difficulty levels gives him a challenge, and it is so fun to watch him work through the puzzles. Even when he is just playing with individual pieces, he is entertained. It is also very user-friendly. Setup is simple, and it is not overly complicated for the owner to manage. Cleaning is surprisingly easy, too. The pieces wipe down well, and nothing traps food or slobber, which is a huge win compared to some other toys we have tried. Functionality-wise, it is fantastic. The levels of difficulty actually work as intended, and I like being able to adjust them based on my dog’s mood. It is durable, too. The weight and sturdiness of the pieces keep them from sliding around too much during play, and they are tough enough to withstand my Aussie’s powerful chewing without damage. I also like how it is numbered so you can quickly move onto the next level without too much thought. With that, I have noticed the higher levels are challenging, and my Aussie has yet to get through them all. Eventually he gets bored and stops trying. It is a high-quality, fun, and engaging toy that provides mental stimulation, holds up to rough play, and is easy for me to maintain. Definitely one of the best puzzle toys I have tried!

She loves it!
Size: 4 Pieces, Size: 4 Pieces
Tried it as soon as we received it. My dog is a doberman german shepherd mix. I used multiple levels to see what my dog can figure out. It kept her pretty occupied for about 15 minutes and then I readjusted the last level so she could figure it out. With that being said, it can definitely keep them busy for longer! This is going to be a great toy, we love it already. Very durable for my girl, she's a pretty heavy chewer. Very easy to clean because it's a rubber material. The overall puzzle design is also great, really gets them to think. Very easy to stuff treats or kibble inside. Lastly, I LOVE that it's blue and yellow! I wish more toys were in blue and yellow because dogs are color blind! I would definitely consider getting more pieces in the future.

Durable and fun

I have a chewer who gets bored in the afternoon. She loves these Lego blocks. They’re sturdy enough for a big chewer and they hold her interest . She really enjoys figuring out how to get her breakfast!
