je302 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Got in my Latest toy today! Aaron Lewis Southern Jumbo #3 of the first 13. Aged & Signed w/ coa signed by Aaron & Ren! Guitar is amazing, the attention to detail in the aging is incredible, it even smells old! Sounds amazing to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchristo Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 congrats, thats a beautiful guitar. can you give us a sound sample ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotTheSilver Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Congrats! That looks awesome! One of the absolutely most impressive sounding guitars I have ever played was a real 1951 Southern Jumbo. I am still kicking myself for not buying it. As Gibson based the AL model on his 1951 SJ, I have been really keen on trying one out, but I have never seen one in person. Enjoy!

zombywoof Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 it even smells old! Gotta say that one made me laugh. First thought - how did Gibson manage to get that old wood, dust, throw in some BO and cigarette smoke and then let sit twenty year smell into a new guitar. A big congrats Hoss.

BigKahune Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 . That's a pretty low number in the run you've got and great sigs. The AL SJ has quite a few fans here. Congrats. . B) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroAussie Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Congratulations on your AL SJ, certainly loving mine. The only thing that annoyed mine and I see its same on yours, is that while they do a great job 'aging' most parts of the guitar, the tuners are stock standard snow white new, which totally doesnt fit the look of the rest of the guitar.

Yours is not aged/relic'd around the soundhole is it EA? Is yours like the new old stock version? I'm sure I seen a pristine finish on your SJ, no?

EuroAussie Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 It doesnt have the scratched or ('distressed' as Gibson marketing boys like to put it) look around the sondhole but the binding and double parallelgrams do have a darkened, 'aged' look. Yours is not aged/relic'd around the soundhole is it EA? Is yours like the new old stock version? I'm sure I seen a pristine finish on your SJ, no?

ParlourMan Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yeah I remembered it as aged but not worn. very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
je302 Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks for the comments everyone, It really is a beautiful guitar and is a pleasure to play. Aussie, your right, the tuner knobs are too pearly white for my liking. I will try to work on posting a good sound-clip, as im not too technologically advanced.

zombywoof Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Funny thing is while I like "relic" guitars when you own nothing but old guitars not a day goes by that you don't wish they looked like they did the day they left the factory. Ahhh, sweet mysteries of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take some brown shoe polish rub it on the nobs, let it set for 20 min and wipe them off. Gives it that vintage look. Looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
