Gibson Custom Shop / SOUTHERN JUMBO 1942 BANNER HISTORIC DREADNOUGHT RS EPICEA PALISSANDRE RW - VOS VINTAGE SUNBURST 1942 / Guitar For Sale
|
Crafted from premium grade solid wood, the <strong>GIBSON Acoustic Custom Shop Historic Collection 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo (CSRSSJ42VS)</strong> is a splendid replica of the original Southern Jumbo (luxurious evolution of the J-45 in a rare version with Rosewood back and sides).
Thanks in particular to its top and bracing made from "Thermally Aged" torrefied wood, this beauty provides real emotions, the feeling of playing an authentic vintage instrument that has improved over the decades.
The "Thermally Aged" process subjects the wood to accelerated drying thanks to exposure to high temperatures. It gives them stability and better resonance.
Acoustic folk guitar type Dreadnought Round Shoulder with short scale (24.75"), torrefied Adirondack Spruce top, Adirondack Spruce bracing, Rosewood back/sides, Rosewood fingerboard.
<strong>Maintenance</strong>
The nitrocellulose varnish, as on vintage Gibsons, plays a major role in the 'breathing' of the instrument thanks to its porous nature (the vibrations are not muffled by the lacquer). This varnish is on the other hand sensitive to contact with the plastics and foams of certain stands (we recommend the Hercules brand), as well as to certain cleaning products that are too detergent.
