To guitarists in the know, the classic 1940's Southern Jumbo is famous for its warm, rich tone and fanciful features reflecting the charm of the South. To legendary artists like Hank Williams Jr., this model represents a family tradition of great music (Hank Williams Sr. also played a Southern Jumbo), great instruments and an ongoing love affair with great American craftsmanship. Built according to late forties specifications, the Southern Jumbo features multiple body binding, a bound fingerboard, parallelogram position markers, and vintage Kluson-style tuners. The Hank Williams Jr. model is built with a solid Sitka Spruce top, scalloped bracing, Mahogany back and sides, and a Vintage Sunburst lacquer finish.
