The guitar undergone a neck reset some years ago but the bridge is still original and holds 2 pearl dots, Multiple deluxe SJ style bound top and soundhole, bound back, original tear-drop shaped pickguard, double parallelogram pearl fingerboard inlays on the beautiful grained rosewood fingerboard I ever seen on an Old Gibson, "Only a Gibson is Good Enough" silk-screened gold banner logo, unbound rosewood fingerboard with 19 frets, multiple soundhole purfling, sunburst finish, original tuners. The Finish is all original except for light overspray over back/sides and neck and retouch over the two cracks that are repaired and run bridge down. Also one repaired crack in the lower bout back and 3 tiny holes in the endpin area from a tailpiece.  Weather-checking and aged patina, but all in all this old and very rare southern Jumbo is in in good condition. the neck is a comfortable fat C shape neck typical for the early banner guitars, full but strangely comfortable. The typical Gibson dry woody tone-character, that compares to nothing but to old Gibson guitars and is a great joy to experience. These guitars get rare by the day! Comes with hardshell TKL case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
