This is an exquisite Super Jumbo from mid 20th century. A transitional year as Gibson was shifting from rosewood to maple on these models which helps add some articulate treble to the thunderous low end projection of the 17" body. The FON on this guitar 2222 34 points to 1949 and the serial number (which apparently was corrected with a bit of added paper to the label by Gibson) A-5890 points to 1950. This has the much more desirable single X-bracing with a body depth of 4 7/8" and a darker finish than most. The guitar is all original except for the pickguard which deteriorated (as they often do) and was replaced with a great looking replica. The guitar is also crack-free save for a couple cleated repairs underneath the pickguard. The action is low and neck is straight which gives this Super Jumbo guitar amazing playability and the sound is a huge balanced cannon fire of  tone. Comes with original Lifton case.
