1962 Southern Jumbo SERIAL: 78391
The flat-top Southern Jumbo has long been a favorite of artists of every stripe, from Woody Guthrie and Kris Kristofferson to Sheryl Crow. This 1962 Sunburst model from the Gibson Garage Vault has the original round-shouldered body style (the Southern Jumbo switched to a square-shouldered body later in 1962) and features a thin, early-60s era SlimTaper™ neck with split parallelogram inlays and original frets.
This guitar has been lovingly played but not abused. It shows signs of playwear, including light scratches throughout, as well as a few bumps and bruises and a cleated crack running from the bridge to the center rosette. It was never drilled for a second strap button and still has its original tuners. It includes a 1970s-era Gibson hardshell case with black Tolex® exterior and purple velvet interior lining.
Availability Date: The purchased instrument will be available for pickup at the Gibson Garage in Nashville, or shipment to an address in the US, starting May 30, 2024.
