sundown08 2 Report post Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) 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. 😩 Edited October 3, 2020 by sundown08 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Z 11 Report post Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Hello Woody! Hello sundown! Wonderful! That will be my next guitar purchase. Sadly they are not available for a long time here in Europe. I‘m jealous. Edited October 3, 2020 by Peter Z Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I copied your picture and rotated it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jt 86 Report post Posted October 7, 2020 Beautiful guitar. Congratulations. I'm curious about the designation, "original," because the originals had neither the belly up bridge nor the bound fingerboard. But, again, a beautiful guitar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like lawyer talk 😉 This new Southern Jumbo Original picks up where those classic models left off. and In order to continually improve the design, quality and performance of our products and instruments and to make use of the best materials at all times, Gibson reserves the right to change specifications without notice.

Peter Z 11 Report post Posted October 7, 2020 The more my belly moves downwards the more I like guitars with a belly up bridge! Guys you made me crazy with that guitar. So, 5 minutes ago I bought one! Sundown, that's your fault, just saying. 🙂 It should be exactly this one from a nice store in Germany that make pics of each and every guitar they sell. So, this ist mine now: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
