1968 Gibson SJ Southern Jumbo – £3299

NEW ARRIVAL For me this is one of the most iconic looking Gibson acoustic guitars – a square shouldered dreadnought in a honeyed finish, with a three point pickguard, and eye catching pearl split parallelogram fingerboard inlays. Also it’s unusual to see such a beautifully figured Mahogany back. This guitar has all the unmistakable characteristics of a 60’s Gibson dreadnought which makes them sound so familiar, when you start playing your mind starts racing as it sounds like so many of the great 60’s recordings – mellow, smooth, warm and rich. The bound neck makes it feel very easy to play, with a slimmer 1 9/16” (39mm) neck, and the action is set just right. The guitar is in good, all original condition, with several repaired top cracks, and a long scratch on the back which goes through the lacquer, but not through the wood. The guitar comes in a vintage hard case.
