Gibson Southern Jumbo (SJ) 1966 - this guitar has a great sunburst finish and sounds like a cannon!
The Southern Jumbo is one of Gibson's most famous models. It has a large dreadnought body with square shoulder and the unusual inlays together with a cool pickguard. Similar to a Hummingbird, this Gibson model is something very special.
The Gibson SJ has a spruce top with mahogany back, sides and neck.
The finish of this model is a dark sunburst, which was the most famous Gibson finish at the time. It has the inlays and ornamentation typical of this model.
This Gibson SJ 1966 sounds great - there really is nothing quite like the tone of a vintage Gibson and this guitar is a prime example. Powerful, woody basses and crisp, cutting highs combine with strong, bold mids for that signature Gibson sound.
The guitar is a splendid example of the Gibson's famous springy response. The woods resonate incredibly well and give this beautiful guitar a very charming, woody sound.
It is in good and original vintage condition. It only has a small repaired crack on the top above the pickguard).
The string action is pleasantly flat. It is incredibly easy to play and a lot of fun to play!
It is supplied with a newer case.
