Description: Up for auction is an incredibly rare original pre-war 1934 Gibson Jumbo acoustic guitar. This is not a reissue nor a custom shop creation. Made in the USA, this instrument has proudly been in my family for generations (my grandfather was the original owner). It has been professionally restored, refinished, and remains in pristine condition. Includes a new hard-shell guitar case. Please see pictures and videos to hear a demo of the instrument and let me know if you have any questions. I will do my best to answer them. Feel free to request additional photos if required. Shipping will be handled by UPS, and a signature will be required for delivery. CONUS only. I want to make sure this unicorn gets to you in perfect shape. Bid with confidence! I have been selling on Ebay since 2003 and have maintained a 100% feedback rating. I also will consider all reasonable inquiries/offers. Specifications: 24.75" scale length, 16" wide body, 10.25" long body, 4.5" deep (1/4" taper, 4.25" at the neck, and 4.5" at the end pin), round shoulder dreadnought body shape, mahogany back and sides. The soundhole is about 3.75" (slightly smaller than a J-35 which is 4"), bound top and back, rosewood fingerboard, dot fingerboard inlays, pearl Gibson logo, rectangular bridge with no bolts (hence no pearl dots), 1 1/8" below the soundhole "X" bracing at 100 degrees with three tone bars, scalloped top braces, fire striped pickguard. Features an unbound 1.75" wide "V" shaped mahogany neck with a pointed French heel, pearl "Gibson" peghead logo, nickel plated Grover G-98 tuners (not the 3-on-a-strip tuners that came on the 1936 J-35), sunburst finish on top and back and sides (top sunburst is "small", with the yellow covering about 1/4 of the top). There are two four digit numbers, FON 1359 or 1459 on the neck block, and 1735 (serial number?) on the back of the headstock. It's difficult to tell exactly what the numbers are, so please see pictures. Don't miss out on this chance to own a true "Holy Grail" of guitars! Thanks for looking!
