Here we go Gang,  Here is an early 1950's Gibson SJ "Project" Guitar.  I purchased it in the present condition a bunch of years ago w/ the intention of refinishing.  Life has gotten in the way of completing a few of my wish list projects. It is a great project piece for a Luthier to pick up or just a cool addition to a collection. But just to be safe, Consider it to need a "Re-Top" - Neck is in great shape - Frets are good - Binding is good - Headstock & Logos are preserved well - Nut & Bridge are in great shape - Rosewood Fret Board - 20 Frets - Top belly bridge - It is missing the Label  - Gold pearl Gibson Logo - Top has some issues -Here is a Gibson Info site To Help Back up the year & model guitarhq.com/gibson6.html#sj 1949 Southern Jumbo specs: "top belly" bridge (belly towards soundhole, as used on most other flat tops models of this period). This style of belly bridge is better, as the belly does not interfere with the vibration of the top between the bridge and the endpin.

1954 Southern Jumbo Natural (SJN) specs:natural finish offered and called the "SJN" ("N" for natural top).1955 SJN/Country Western specs:SJN natural finish now called the "Country Western." Pearl "Gibson" peghead logo replaces gold silkscreen, and pearl crown peghead design added to this model (both SJN and Country Western seen with pearl peghead attributes in 1955.)

Mid to late 1955 Southern Jumbo specs:Longer pickguard with point at upper bout, one additional fret added (20 frets total), lower non-scalloped top braces used, pickguard shape changed from teardrop to a pointed style.     This comes from a Very large Collection  "Momma said to Thin Out The Herd" I will be listing a few more Items from the collection. so please feel free to check out our other listed items. - Shipping is flat $29.00  through USPS to US PayPal Verified address in the U.S.A. only.
