For sale is a vintage Gibson acoustic guitar. I believe it is the Southern Jumbo model (although I find Gibson's guitar model names confusing). Based on an internet search it is dated as a 1965, made in Kalamazoo. MI. This guitar has that great vintage gibson sound. There is a K and K true western piezo pick up installed (you will need to get the pre amp for it to work, not included). I will do my best to describe the condition of this guitar, but look at the photos and feel free to ask questions. The frets do not buzz including playing in many alternate tunings, but they will need to be replaced at some point. Believe the tuners are original and they work well.  The finish has checking and wear as one would expect (actually quite beautiful in my opinion.) The inlay on the head stock has minor flaws. I believe the pick guard has been replaced and I think the bridge was also replaced or repaired. On the treble side of the body the finish is worn. This happened about a decade ago and has not affected playing or become any worse over the years. I've had this guitar for about 20 years and love it, but don't play it much any more. It wants to be played. It was played on multiple Iron and Wine tours domestically and internationally as well as albums such as Our Endless Numbered Days. Amp comes with a hard shell case. The strap pictured is not included. I have a 100% rating and have  packed and shipped without any problem before. The guitar will be insured for selling price. International buyers need to contact me before bidding. Great sounding guitar. Guitar is sold as is.
