Description

This ’55 Southern Jumbo is a beautiful, all-original Gibson dread. The only repairs to note are top and back separations that have been recently secured. It shows beautiful signs of age without being excessively worn in. The tone is clear and powerful, almost like a grand piano, and it plays beautifully. Comes with the original chipboard case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
