Description
The Gibson Southern Jumbo Original is well-known for its southern blues-inspired tone, and is the perfect acoustic companion for players looking to play big, bold cowboy chords as well as leads. Carrying on the legacy of the original war-era flat-tops, this Gibson has a versatile, yet spirited tone. Its J-45 body shape, Sitka spruce top, mahogany back/sides, and hand-scalloped X bracing all contribute to the Southern Jumbo Original's exceptional sound: plenty of low-end for those big chords, and heaps of high-end sparkle to balance things out. The SlimTaper mahogany neck and 12" radius rosewood fingerboard are a joy to play, and will put your fretting hand right at home. Plus, the Southern Jumbo features mother of pearl parallelogram inlays, multi-play binding, and a Vintage Sunburst finish to drive home its charming, classic aesthetic. And with LR Baggs VTC electronics, you get every bit of the Southern Jumbo's tone every time you plug it in. The Southern Jumbo Original is a fantastic acoustic-electric from top to bottom.
