Hawkcity Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I've been gassing for a Southern Jumbo for awhile; but, I just can't justify the cash right now for a vintage one. Has anyone played the '42 Reissue from Fuller's Vintage Guitars? I located one but the seller knows little about the topwood, specs, etc. The price is reasonable--unfortunately I'm in Georgia and the guitar is in California.

zombywoof Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 All I know about them is that they had rosewood back and sides. They were a very limited run so there are not too many around. Ya might take a look at the Woody Guthrie SJ. Although I ain't a fan of onboard electronics, the couple I have played were both pretty darn nice guitars.

I have a Woody Guthrie and just love it to death."Pretty darn nice indeed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkcity Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 The Woody Guthrie looks awful nice and the reviews are great--I just have a hard time accepting on board electronics. I have got an offer out on a '58 SJ with some issues. It has been played hard with a lot of cosmetic damage bordering on neglect; back, sides, and top are straight with no cracks. It has a reglued bridge and fingerboard divots on the first four frets. The guitar is out now with a luthier having a loose brace reglued and the divots filled. The seller is a long time dealer of vintage guitars and mandolins in Virginia and appears upstanding. I await pictures on the divot fill before I pull the trigger--48 hour approval period offered.
