This Jumbo Acoustic/Electric Is a Player's Dream! The Southern Jumbo Modern Classic is Gibson's 21st centure take on a guitar steeped in tradition: Gibson created the Southern Jumbo in the 1940s after a salesman for the southern territory brought home requests for a sturdy, versatile and attractive round-shoulder dreadnought. With elegant ornamentation and exquisite tone, the SJ has become a Gibson classic. The current Southern Jumbo retains the late '40's style with upgraded features reflecting the charm and style of the South. Take home a piece of Gibson history with the Gibson Sothern Jumbo Modern Classic! Gibson Southern Jumbo Modern Classic Acoustic Guitar at a Glance:
Modern Classic, improved Delivering quality craftsmanship and classic style, Gibson guitars will always be of the best in the world. Yet, the same technological developments that constantly change and revolutionize the audio industry are also impacting the needs and wishes of modern musicians: Gibson knows this. With the release of the Modern Classic line, Gibson gives a nod to the modern guitarist - the guitarist who needs onboard electronics, cutaways to reach the uppermost frets, modified neck profiles, and setups that allow playability, no matter the style of playing. With these features in mind, Gibson redesigned the entire Modern Classics line to give us premium, handcrafted guitars that play easier, intonate better, sound great plugged in, and stay in tune even better than before. These guitars feature the latest advancements, including radiused, or rolled fingerboard edges, that give you a fast, comfortable feel. And, with string height lower at the nut, these guitars play will also play even easier and intonate better all the way up the neck. Final touches, including new soundhole labels, sturdy Grover tuners, and premium Fishman pickups, make it easy for you to take your favorite traditional-style Gibson acoustic to the modern stage with confidence! Quality construction All Modern Classic guitars are handcrafted by Gibson in Bozeman, MT, from premium tonewoods and components. The Southern Jumbo Modern Classic features a premium-quality solid Sitka spruce top, and solid Mahogany back and sides. A mahogany neck with a V-shaped profile is adjoined at the 14th fret - ideal for sustain. In addition to improvements in playability, electronics, and hardware (which apply to all new Modern Classic guitars), this Southern Jumbo Modern Classic features the classic Vintage Sunburst look, with a Madagascar rosewood fingerboard inlaid with mother of pearl parallelograms. The headstock features Gibson's classic mother of pearl crown. Round Shoulder style Descending from Gibson's large HG Hawaiian guitar in 1929, and the original "Jumbo," introduced in 1934, Round Shoulder Dreadnoughts are steeped in Gibson tradition and lauded for their pure, rich tones, and impressive volume. With smooth lines, and a curvaceous shape, Round Shoulder style guitars invite a close relationship with their respective guitarists: their body shape makes these guitars easier to hold and more comfortable to wrap your arms around. Gibson Southern Jumbo Modern Classic Acoustic Guitar Features:
Gibson: Don't Mess with a Good Thing Gibson guitars have been around for well over a century. When guitarists are looking for an outstanding combination of superb tone and playability along with great looks and gorgeous finishes, the choice for most of those 100 plus years has been Gibson. From their amazing collection of fine acoustics to the electric guitars that literally rewrote music history, Gibson guitars have been on almost every chart-topping album from artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream and Led Zeppelin. These "first call" instruments also cross an enormous array of diverse styles, from folk and country to blues and hard rock. With that resume, it's not surprising that so many of Gibson's best-selling instruments have changed little over the decades. Because there's just no sense in messing with a good thing!
