The Gibson SJ-100 was first introduced in 1939 as a more affordable, less fancy cousin to the company’s SJ-200  but it was discontinued in 1941. Gibson has issued various J-100 models since then, but in 2013 they re-introduced the 1941 version of the J-100 as the "1941 SJ-100", closely based on the original specifications. This 1941 SJ-100 reissue has the large (and loud) Super Jumbo body measuring 425mm wide, 535mm long and 119mm deep. The top is Sitka spruce (finished in vintage sunburst or antique natural nitrocellulose) with mahogany back and sides, and rounded C/D profile mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard. The head stock has the old-style Gibson script logo in mother of pearl. The 1941 SJ-100 has white button vintage nickel tuners, L.R. Baggs Element pickup system, and the AJ style firestripe pickguard.
