1930s / 1950s Gibson Advanced Jumbo / Southern Jumbo Natural

1930’s/1950’s Gibson Advanced Jumbo / Southern Jumbo in very good condition. This Gibson started its life as an Advanced Jumbo from the 1930’s. At some point in the late 1950’s the guitar was sent back to Gibson where it was re-topped, re-necked with a Southern Jumbo neck, and refinished at the factory. The guitar now is essentially a 24 ¾” scale Southern Jumbo with an extra deep 1930’s rosewood body, measuring 4 ⅝” deep at the lower bout. It appears as if the pickguard may have been off the guitar and reglued at some point. This AJ/SJ was constructed with a spruce top, rosewood back and sides, a bound mahogany neck with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard featuring pearloid parallelogram inlays, and a Brazilian rosewood bridge. The neck has a width of 1 11/16” at the nut, a depth of 0.92” deep at the first fret, and a depth of 1.04” deep at the tenth fret. The guitar has a 24 3/4” scale and weighs 4.40 lbs. The back of the neck is finished as a 1930’s Advanced Jumbo would be and the guitar retains the original tuners. An interesting, one-of-a-kind Gibson with a huge, deep, ringing sound and haunting midrange. Comes with a non-original hardshell case.
