Description

There's a reason this 1946 Gibson Southern Jumbo has had so many repairs and modifications to keep it alive; it sounds awesome. The tone this guitar produces is quintessential vintage Gibson - Airy, midrange clear, and lush. The neck is fat and beat up yet very comfortable in the hand. With many repairs and modifications and a finish and age that not even Tom Murphy could replicate, this guitar comes with some history and likely many stories to be written ahead.
