Description

The 1952 Gibson Southern Jumbo is a classic slope-shoulder dreadnought renowned for its warm, balanced tone and rich midrange. Featuring a spruce top with mahogany back and sides, this model delivers the woody resonance and projection Gibson acoustics are known for. The sunburst finish, parallelogram inlays, and multi-ply binding give it a distinctive look. While it has undergone repairs over the years, it remains a highly playable instrument with plenty of vintage character. See the full repair history under the Specs tab. Includes a non-original hardshell 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.
