Default 1946 Gibson Southern Jumbo

TRADED!

1946 Gibson Southern Jumbo originally from Winston Salem, NC. Owned by a gentleman named Mr. R. Conrad. His name is written in pencil on a back brace.

His daughter had it restored and then sold the guitar to me through Midwood Guitar Studios. The story I heard from MGS staff was the daughter said her dad once played with the great Arthur Smith. I wrote his daughter asking for any additional information, photographs, etc... but I received no reply.

The following information is taken directly from the work order (2015):
1. Reset neck.
2. Planed and re-fretted the fingerboard.
3. Carved a new Brazilian rosewood bridge (original is in the case).
4. Carved a new bone nut.
5. Re-glued all braces.
6. Replaced tuners.
7. Repaired and re-glued cracked x-brace.
8. Replaced missing finger brace (treble side).
9. Cleated side crack at the waist (bass side).
10. Cleated 2 top cracks (treble side, lower bout).
11. Cleated 2 side cracks (treble side, lower bout).
12. Cleated (and touched up finish) back crack.

Written appraisal by NC Guitar Works (2015) $6200-6800.
Verbal appraisal by Carter Vintage (2017) $7000.

TRADED. Fully insured.

Will consider a quality acoustic (Gibson, Martin, Taylor, Larrivee) as a partial trade plus PayPal/cash difference (with the bulk in cash/PayPal).

Great day in the morning, this thing has some serious tone.

Respected and longstanding AGF member. 100% positive feedback on EBay as well.

Comes with a copy of the work order, the original bridge in the non-original hard shell case.

Message me if interested. IMG_2639.jpgIMG_2640.jpgIMG_2645.jpgIMG_2641.jpgIMG_2642.jpgIMG_2643.jpgIMG_2648.jpgIMG_2647.jpgIMG_2646.jpgIMG_2649.jpg
