1970s Gibson Deluxe Southern Jumbo Restored (433)
Location:
Forest Hill, MD
Description:
Gibson Deluxe Southern Jumbo (433)Non-original and not perfectly fitting hard shell case included. The tuner knobs hit the sides a littile.Tone quality and harmonic response are outstanding. I will sound test this against any Gibson dreadnought in existence. This guitar offers nice play feel and perfect intonation. Action is 1/16 at the 12th fret.Neck was reset. This has an excellent slim Gibson neck.Top was replaced with AAA Sitka spruce. New bracing is V-brace pattern.Back bracing is original.Deluxe rosewood tone bars (my design) are added to the sides.As received, this guitar was a total basket case. The top was destroyed. Neck was off. Previous owner or shop tech had attempted to remove the back and left little router bit marks all around the sides. I am leaving polishing work to the next owner as polishing the sides would be gilding the pig. Also, the back was pretty chewed up too, so I added purfling to make it look decent. Also, the neck heel was a little chewed up. What were they trying to do?As usual, satisfaction is guaranteed. Returns allowed per our warranty.I pay attention to small details. Top braces are tapered and sanded smooth. The inside back and sides are cleaned up and sanded smooth. Back braces are rounded and sanded smooth. All structural components are top quality and joined correctly. You might not think so looking at it. However, see my warranty. I support my customers.New PartsTop - grade AAA Sitka spruceBracing - V-pattern premium quarter sawn tapered Sitka spruce.Sides have deluxe rosewood bracing added.Bridge - Indian rosewoodBridge plate - 40 year old sugar mapleSaddle - Vintage Bone Bridge Pins - PlasticEnd pin - EbonyOriginal PartsFret Board - rosewood and very clean.
