And he got it wrong anyway. I believe the Roy Smeck Radio Grande would have been Gibson's first rosewood body jumbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson only made roughly 300 AJ then and was the first rosewood dread for them. The OJ ( original jumbo) was mahogony Actually a few 1935's were made with Brazilian Back and sides. The largestpart of th original 300 were actually East Indian Rosewood back and sides. The bridges and fretboard were all Brazilian Rosewood. After 1935 Gibson made very few acoustics with Brazilian B&S on any of their acoustics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
