Description

This 1946 Gibson Southern Jumbo in Sunburst is a post-war slope-shoulder dreadnought with a strong, open voice and a direct, woody response. The spruce top and mahogany back and sides produce a dry fundamental with a warm low end and clear midrange, giving it a focused and balanced character. It has seen a number of repairs over time, including a replacement bridge and bridge plate, a neck set, a refret, and a reglued X brace. Several cracks on the top and back have been professionally addressed with maple cleats, along with a repaired crack on the back treble side. The top has received a full overspray, and previously installed tailpiece holes have been plugged and finished. Overall, it remains in good vintage condition with the expected signs of maintenance and structural work that come with a well-played instrument of this age.

Includes brown Lifton hard shell case
