The banner Gibsons are among the most revered vintage pieces, and we’ve landed a fantastic example of a 1944 Southern Jumbo to prove the point. In particular, this piece has an Adirondack Spruce top, rather than the more common all-Mahogany SJs of the time. This one’s seen its fair share of action across its almost eighty years of living, but our repair maestros have gone over it tailpiece to tuners and give it a clean bill of health. This vintage Gibson is ready for more action, and boy is it itching for strumming (or flatpicking, or fingerstyle for that matter). And it’s got a James May Ultra Tonic pickup to carry you right onto the stage for accurate, acoustic amplified tone.

What can I say? This one comes from my own collection, it’s one of the best sounding banner Gibsons I’ve ever heard. As you can imagine, I get to see quite a few of them. I installed my favorite pickup system so it’s ready for stage. | Scale Length | 24.7500 in |
