Comments | This is a new model from Gibson, finally being released after some years of development and prototyping with Jackson Browne. Based on the 1930’s deep jumbo Roy Smeck models, this guitar has a massive sound, huge projection, and a full, clearly articulated tone. The 12-fret neck design moves the bridge closer to the center of the top, getting every bit of sound out of the guitar. |
