Gibson / Southern Jumbo / 1952 / Guitar

A vintage Gibson always brings warm feelings to us at The Fellowship of Acoustics, with the Slope Shoulder models bringing out the inner singer-songwriter in everyone. This Southern Jumbo from 1952 is a guitar where the story almost tells itself; The guitar came to us a few years ago and has undergone a complete restoration, and has not lost its vintage character and sound at all! Before its arrival, this Southern Jumbo had already been subjected to a less successful restoration attempt, but has since received the care the guitar deserves. For example, in the area of the sound box and top, the braces and new bridge plate have been re-glued, and the bridge and pickguard have been replaced. The back of the sound box has a new binding, while the binding at the front has been partly renewed. The original finish of the top has largely been preserved, and it beautifully shows the crackle and playwear that the guitar has accumulated over the years. As for the neck, in addition to a neck reset and refret, new inlays have been added and a new binding has been added. A wedge has been added to the back to strengthen the neck, while the headstock has 2mm mahogany veneer on both sides. The neck has a soft V-profile and plays wonderfully. The original tuners are on the back of the headstock, these were preserved during the restoration. The guitar has been returned to its former glory in its restored state, and will therefore be a reliable companion for the guitarist who has a soft spot for vintage instruments. The sound is full and balanced and has the typical woody character with clear highs and sufficient lows, and comes into its own beautifully with both fingerstyle and firm strumming. The guitar comes with TFOA passport in a vintage 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.
