GotTheSilver Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I was in Fuller's Vintage Guitars in Houston last weekend looking at an array of beautiful Gibson acoustics. I mentioned to the sales guy (Sal) that I've always loved the aesthetic of the Southern Jumbo. Sal mentioned that they have ordered a special run of FVG 1942 and 1943 Southern Jumbos. They will have red spruce tops. Expected delivery is probably around February. I don't know any other specs, or what will be different between the 1942 and 1943 models, but I thought I would give a heads up to those who might be interested.

J-1854Me Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I have an '02 Fuller's '42 SJ rosewood re-issue, and it is a fine guitar for what it is. I had a very nice natural AJ at the time which I traded towards the SJ r/w; never looked back, as it "did" the rosewood round-shouldered slope with a bit more warmth than the AJ. (And I've never particularly cared for the aesthetic of the AJ...) It has the usual all-too-common Gibson goofiness, as you can see here with the incorrect logo: <sigh> Fortunately, she's a great sounding guitar, so I'm not stuck on the goofy logo!

Did they mention the price on this SJ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotTheSilver Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 No, and I didn't really think to ask. Their signature reissues are usually priced pretty reasonably, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggieryan Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I have 2 Fullers custom guitars, a 2001 L1 "Harlem Slim" and 12 fret Custom SJ... both are very unique and well made instruments with lots of personality... they seem to put a lot of heart into these custom runs they do.
