Description

Step back into a bygone era of Gibson's acoustic legacy with the 1939 SJ-100 Heavy Aged-a faithful re-creation of one of the rarest and most distinctive big-bodied guitars ever produced. Built only between 1939 and 1942, the mahogany-backed Super Jumbo 100 is celebrated among collectors and vintage enthusiasts for its majestic voice and striking good looks. This meticulously crafted reissue takes those defining features-like the thermally aged red spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and the iconic "stairstep" headstock design-and unites them with Gibson Custom's modern expertise, delivering an instrument that feels like a treasured heirloom from the moment you strum your first chord.

Brought to life in Bozeman, Montana, and given a lovingly detailed Murphy Lab Heavy Aged finish, the 1939 SJ-100 offers a timeless tone that's as bold and dynamic as its Super Jumbo silhouette. A two-piece maple neck with a rounded profile provides smooth comfort for cowboy chords and fingerstyle passages alike, while the ebony fingerboard and matching moustache bridge add premium playability and striking style. Topped off with Waverly tuners featuring ivoroid knobs and a vintage firestripe pickguard, this SJ-100 reissue immerses you in a piece of Gibson history-perfect for those seeking an acoustic that echoes the golden age of American guitar-making.
