First-year, iconic 1943 Gibson Southerner Jumbo

Another perfect example of Gibson's pre-war dreadnought. This is the lightest dreadnought we have in stock, it has a huge open sound. Perfect for blues guitar playing and country strumming. Minor dings, some buckle rash, and a finish crack on the neck heel where a prior reset has been performed.

This guitar was found in a closet in a convent in Canada where it had been stored for 50 years - which is why it is in such good condition.
