Default New old guitar day!!
Actually picked this up about a week ago and have had a hard time putting it down!! 1950 Gibson Southern Jumbo, sounds and feels just like an old Gibson slope should. Light as a feather and all original, couldn't be happier!20201120_173154.jpg

Man, that is sweet! The only guitar I have GAS for now is an old SJ/J-45/J-50. I’ve played a couple from that same era as yours and I still have dreams about them.
