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.
