The SJ or Southern Jumbo model, along with the Dove, Hummingbird, and Country Western, underwent a significant change in appearance in 1963 when Gibson replaced the slope shoulder design with a square shoulder design. This design change not only affected the appearance, but the guitar also got a longer scale of 645 mm. There's no denying that these are great sounding instruments with a lot of character. Similar to a Martin D18, but with that typical mellow sounding Gibson magic. They are known as perfect studio instruments that lend themselves perfectly to the most beautiful recordings. This copy from 1968 can be called special to say the least. The experts may have noticed, but a 1968 SJ should actually have a pointed pickguard and a bridge that is exactly the other way around. It is remarkable that these specifications differ for this Southern Jumbo. The guitar naturally also has the expected play and use traces that fit an instrument of this age. The frets have been replaced, as has the bridge saddle. It should be noted that the original rosewood bridge saddle is included. Furthermore, the guitar has had a neck reset, and a repair has been carried out on the heel. Nevertheless, the guitar plays excellently and also has a wonderful, well-played sound. The guitar is in good condition and comes with a period-correct cardboard case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
