dabs Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I see that you can get the Southern Advanced Jumbo with 25.5 or 24.75 necks. Is there a way to know by year, or by site, what size neck is on that particular one without asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rar Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 The Southern Jumbo and the Advanced Jumbo are different guitars -- no such thing as a Southern Advanced Jumbo. All* Southern Jumbos are short scale. All* Advanced Jumbos are long scale, except for a (large) special-order of short-scale Advanced Jumbos in a variety of tonewoods by guitarsale.com. (Ren thought the idea of a short scale AJ was kind of odd, but that's what the customer wanted, so they made 'em.) There was never a time when the standard AJ was a short scale guitar. -- Bob R * When talking about Gibson, "all" doesn't always mean absolutely every one. For example, at least one short-scale AJ from the '30s is still around. With Gibson, these things happen. It's one of the reasons we love 'em!
