My Southern Jumbo had a rattle. Turned out to be coming from the VTC Control Module. If I pressed it tighter to the guitar the rattle would go away but return over time. When I replaced my VTC with a LR Baggs Anthem no more rattle. Happy camper now plus the Anthem sounds WORLDS better then the VTC. My 2 cents. YMMV.

I did not care for the stock strings on my 2020 Southern Jumbo. Replaced them with Martin Authentic Acoustic 2.0 Phosphor Bronze lights. It made a wonderful guitar sound fantastic!! YMMV.

NGD!!! Say hello to "Woody". The newest member of the family! 2020 Gibson Southern Jumbo Original. He sounds as good as he looks!!! I finally found a Gibson with "That" Gibson sound. Woody sounding but with beautiful piano like chime. I could not be happier!!!!
Don’t know why the picture is rotated side ways. 😩

I have a 2009 ES-335. I bought it used at guitar center in 2013. I played it for 30 minutes and fell in love with it. It was definitely a closet queen. No sign of play wear and the plastic was still on the pick guard. Came with the original case which was also like new. Did not come with a COA. Months later I was cleaning it and noticed that the orange tag inside the body was filled out very poorly. The serial number written on the tag matches the headstock. Unfortunately the last number on the serial number on the tag was scribbled over like an error was made then corrected. Overall the information on the tag looked like it was written by a 3 year old. When traveling a number of years back I dropped it off at Gibson a and had it authenticated. It’s the real deal. I asked about the tag and was told it happens from time to time. Not big deal for me as I truly love the guitar. Just found it a bit odd.

I have the anthem in my Martin D-18 and D-41. No rattles. Does not mean they won’t just saying. I had a Taylor 816ce that had a horrible rattle. Turned out to be the expression system module. Taylor replaced it which eliminated the rattle. I think rattles can happen with any guitar and system. With all the vibration going on in our instrument system it’s no wonder that things rattle from time to time.
