Gibson acoustics are renowned for their timeless tone, deeply ingrained in the way we experience music today. The Gibson Southern Jumbo stands out as a classic in the Gibson acoustic lineup, known for its striking sunburst finish and elegant inlays that complement its exceptional playability. Some of the greatest Gibsons to grace the hands of performers and songwriters come from the mold of the Southern Jumbo. 

This particular Southern Jumbo is in excellent condition, both cosmetically and functionally. Its tonal qualities are rich and articulate, with a strong presence. The combination of spruce and mahogany creates a bright, focused sound with a quick response—ideal for cutting through a mix when playing with other musicians, or as a solo accompaniment to a singer. 

This guitar has had its bridge re-glued, and one back brace partially re-glued, ensuring structural integrity. Thanks to a recent setup, it plays beautifully with comfortable action. Comes with a modern Gibson hardshell case.
