Overview

Steeped in tradition but enhanced for the modern player.

A large-bodied flat-top, this distinctive workhorse is beloved for its ability to belt out a country rhythm or an acoustic blues lead, while retaining an understated elegance. Going for as much as $10,000 on the vintage market, when you can find them, original examples are among the most prized pre-war flat-tops. The traditional Southern Jumbo recreates the best of this legendary model in an affordable instrument available to players and collectors today. Constructed by the acclaimed luthiers of Gibson’s acoustic facility in Bozeman, Montana, the traditional Southern Jumbo is one of the best-kept secrets in the Gibson acoustic line.

Hardshell case included.
