Gibson 1942 Historic Southern Jumbo, Rosewood & Red Spruce demo

There are players out there who proclaim the mighty rosewood dreadnought king of the mountain, but this banner-era replica Southern Jumbo is more than up to the challenge. All of the dry woodiness Gibson is known for is present, but the addition of East Indian rosewood broadens the frequency range to match a pre-war specced D-28. The finish is so thin that it has found the pores of the wood, and the body has just the right amount of wear while remaining structurally sound. If you thought Gibson only played the blues, this bluegrass cannon will surely change your mind.

Your playing brings out the best in this guitar. This is my idea of the pinnacle of great steel string acoustic tone, there's a warm woody timbre that just takes you back in time. Phenomenal instrument.

Boy Gibson is making some fantastic guitars now. Just got a CS 1936 AJ and I’ll tell you, it sounds wonderful and Carl always does as well. Thanks again!

the moving sound of this progression so fitting for this beautiful guitar as always, Carl

Wood and metal, flesh and blood - the song of an Earth-bound angel.

What guitar is this? The tuners are different from the regular 1942 SJ cs and no pick guard? Some info would be nice.

Great sound and playing...interesting that this version has Waverly Butterbean tuners, instead of the specified Waverly Button tuners (like shown everywhere else). Great demo!

How does it compare against a 1950s reissue j45

[Jeremy]

Which strings do you have mounted on this guitar?Thx

Sounds great - and a modern replica at that! However, it IS a "mighty rosewood dreadnought" .
