Got my answer. Apparently the SJ200 was redesigned in the last few years. So the brace system was moved to accomodate the pickup. Its going in my D18....sorry maybe its a bad word but not intentional. haha.. . Looking at alternatives now. Thought I would share.

Hello everyone. New guy here. I have a few Gibsons and I have a question for anyone who can shed some light. I bought an LR Baggs Anthem because I want to bring out the low end of my SJ200. Such a sweet sound. There is a bracing in the way of where the control mounts just above the sound hole in playing position. Yet I see them advertised in SJ200s and videos of the Anthem comparing them with mics..on the SJ200. I brought it to my luthier and he said that the brace is in the way and I agree. He is a great luthier and I am not questioning him in anyway. He is a knowledgable guy in every way. I just want to know the whats up on this. Is there a version of the LR Anthem with the controls I don't know about? Has anyone here installed or had one installed the Anthem in an SJ200. Mine is a 92. Maybe they changed the bracing? Just want to do some leg work for the luthier too. Thanks Lou
