Gibson Custom Shop Historic Reissue 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo Vintage Sunburst Acoustic Guitar

The Gibson Custom Shop Historic Reissue 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo captures the unmistakable character and charm of a vintage Gibson acoustic. Its thermally aged Adirondack red spruce top, combined with rosewood back and sides, delivers exceptional tonal response, rich resonance, and superb playability. Whether used for fundamental chord work or expressive blues lead lines, the Southern Jumbo remains a highly versatile instrument. Proudly bearing the legendary “Only a Gibson is Good Enough” banner on the headstock, this Custom Shop model also features an open-slot bridge, bone saddle and nut, and the classic 1.77" nut width.
