Gibson Acoustic

Here's a super rare Gibson Les Paul Jumbo acoustic electric guitar. It is a transitional 69-70 model- no volute, but is stamped "Made In USA". The serial number dates to the Kalamazoo factory. This guitar is all original and came from the factory with a low impedance pickup at the neck. A number of these were made with brazilian rosewood- I don't know if this one is.

The Jumbo is a member of the Les Paul Low Impedance Family (its solid body brothers being the Personal, the Professional, and the Recording; there was also a semi-acoustic version called the Signature). Its single pickup is located right between the end of the fretboard and the sound hole, mounted in a right angle (not slanted like on the LP Personal) on an oval-shaped chrome ring. The pickup is designed to produce a very clean, noiseless, and undistorted sound. It requires an external impedance converter to be operational (Note: most lo-z Les Pauls available today have lost their original converter cables, but modern converters for microphones will do the job). The electronics were largely inherited from the Low-Impedance Les Paul Personal guitar: a single, oval lo-z pickup with black, Gibson-embossed cover, toggle switch, and four controls for Volume, Decade, Bass, and Treble. The familiar-looking toggle switch is anything but familiar: it has only two positions- "In" and "Out". The switch effectively bypasses the bass and treble controls. The knobs are the original gold reflector knobs. The Decade Control offers 11 different tone presets: position 1 emphasizes the higher frequencies while the higher positions add bottom end to the sound.

It just had a set up and it plays beautifully. The action is low, the neck is straight and there is a some of clear coat checking.

The top, back and sides have average playwear, a few light bumps, and a guitar cord mark on the back. The frets are original and are in pretty decent condition. It has a nice vibe. No smokey odors or repairs- just that nice vintage aura.

Comes with original looking case.
