Gibson Southern Jumbo 1965, Sunburst

This 1965 Gibson Southern Jumbo captures the character and warmth that made Gibson square-shoulder dreadnoughts a staple of American music. With its wide X-bracing and long scale, it offers a dry, punchy response with a warm midrange and clear, singing trebles—perfect for everything from fingerpicking to driving rhythm work. It’s had a few thoughtful repairs over the years, including a new nut, a Tusq replacement saddle, a bridge plate cap, and a repaired top crack on the lower bout, reinforced with a maple cleat. The neck has been oversprayed, preserving its smooth playability while maintaining the vintage vibe. Structurally sound and full of personality, this Southern Jumbo delivers that classic Gibson tone with all the charm of a well-loved vintage guitar. A great example of mid-’60s Gibson craftsmanship, ready for the next chapter.

Includes original Gibson chipboard case.
