Thanks all, very amped about this. Never had a small bodied Gibson before so having this while trying to learn Mississippi John Hurt songs seems ideal.
-
That's the one! The seller was real upfront as well. As for real clips let's just play that by ear.

A Maple Nick is my dream parlour...I've played a few and every one has been incredible. Enjoy!
It's getting delivered Tuesday. Got it used, here's the video of it.

About to pull the trigger on a used Wildwood Nick Lucas L 100 Maple. Very excited.

Looks like they're not doing that with all of the models. . . but in having a closer look at the '34 Jumbo neck join, it does have the French heel, an authentic touch on 1930's Gibsons. Specs list scale= 25.0?. And - have a good look at the '34 Jumbo's case- a beauty. . . is it a Harptone? love the plush interior, handle, correct-for-the-era coarse grained covering, and top and back both arched.
@generaldreedle- hopefully, you've been following Rosinante's J-45 VOS NGD thread, as Zombywoof's post about the mahogany-backed J-45's strengths is a good way to start a conversation about just one more person's observations about having J-45's with both mahogany and rosewood back n' sides.
I'll take a look, thanks

From the front, the new one looks exactly like my 1943 SJ re-issue.
So Dave, what do you find the tonal differences to be between your rosewood and 'hog SJs?
I'd like to know the difference too

Kind of wish the Southern Jumbo was mahogany

Aha ^ something is reached. Where did the Pyramids do good ?
They've done well on my Southern Jumbo in the past

Why not get a set of each, , , and even spend a weekend goin' back'n'forth while listening/learning.
So I put pyramid pbs on my Guild Maple Jumbo and hated it. The bass strings sounded awful, too metallic but not like the nickels. I put 80/20 mediums on them and they sound great

some more info on the difference:
That's interesting, looking for new strings for my Guild Maple Jumbo, this seems to say I should get Phosphor Bronze
-
I have 80/20 on my Southern Jumbo and they sound fantastic

Try nickels, I had them on my Southern Jumbo and really liked them

I have a Martin HD 28 VTS- Torrefied top. It's a wonderful guitar, not too boomy like a lot of HD 28s, but more depth than a D 28,

Listening to the Stones acoustic stuff on Exile, Sticky Fingers, Let it Bleed and loving the sound of Keith's Hummingbird. Strangely enough I don't have a Hummingbird I have a Southern Jumbo but that's what got me started.
-
Has anyone ever owned one or played one? It looks cool, really expensive though
-
Sounds amazing in the video, I thought my GAS was cured but that sounds really nice
-
So, since it seems that Gibson was discontinuing their strings for some new version I went on Amazon to get the masterbuilt but also ordered the Gibson J200 phosphor bronze light and mediums for the heck of it. Do people like them? I know they're for the j200 but I have a Southern Jumbo and a Guild JF 30 Maple
-
For what it's worth I just ordered the former Gibson j200 strings on Amazon, one medium and one light, for my Guild JF30 Maple
-
Saw this on the AGF and it got me thinking what the pros here would say for those who have all different models and why. I've only had two, a J45 custom rosewood and a Southern Jumbo and while I like them both the Southern Jumbo is my favorite and after a year or two seems to have broken in a little. It's fundamental and dry without being brittle and it's resonant enough without too much sustain. Just a great guitar, but anyway I'd love to hear everyone's opinion.
-
When I heard they were discontinuing the strings I went on Amazon and bought a bunch
-
My newest guitar is a Guild 1993 JF 30 that's fantastic.
However it made me also appreciate the differences of the Southern Jumbo

Doc Watson
Stefan Grossman
Mick Taylor- his solos with the Stones are just so simple and lyrical, I think he was just the bad while he was with the Stones
-
I know you said square but I put them on my Southern Jumbo and they sounded great

Thanks everyone. I'm taking it in and will see what they say at Dusty Strings.
