jw3571 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Does anybody know where I can pick up one of these new Southern Jumbo 1942 models? I've been to all the big guys sites but nobody has them yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I doubt if there are many or any out there available for immediate purchase. They have been pre-ordered through dealers, and a number of people here have done that, with estimates of 3-4 month delivery, I believe. The was before the stuff hit the fan, of course, so who knows what it might be now? Does anyone know if Gibson Bozeman is actually building guitars right now? Music Villa is the dealer closest to the Gibson plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimt Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I believe the Bozeman plant is closed down for a while. That whole Virus thing is the culprit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75 Hummingbird Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Chicago Music Exchange has 3 or 4 of the models from that line on their web site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanCarlosVejar Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Bozeman and all other Gibson factories are closed. My Sheryl Crow Country Western came into favorite shop last week (after more than 6 months) only to be informed that they accidentally put a Strap button on it (I specified no electronics or no strap button because I never play out) , They told me I would receive a new one which they would begin building right after Bozeman opened it doors (no ETA was given ) JC Edited April 8, 2020 by JuanCarlosVejar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbiii Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 As I vintage Gibson collector (curmudgeon?), (two early 43 SJs (one RW) and an early 43 J-45; 36 AJ; 35 Jumbo; 36 Trojan/J-35; 35 RSRG; 36 RSRD), I am often in a position to compare these new models to the old. To me it is interesting -- not good or bad. First, for many years the model was the Southerner Jumbo -- not the Southern Jumbo. Also, only three SJs have been identified from 1942 -- two RW and one RW/mahogany combination, all with white logos and not banner logos. I know no one really cares, but it keeps me a amused. What else is there to do in isolation. Be safe guys, -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
