Up for sale, a 1997 Gibson Hank Williams Jr. Southern Jumbo Limited Edition in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. This rare Gibson is one of only 300 made, utilizing genuine Brazilian rosewood for the fretboard and bridge.
Tonewoods include an X-braced Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and rims, a one-piece mahogany neck, and Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. This Hank Williams Jr. has the punch and projection indicative of Gibson's best slope shoulder dreadnoughts, with plain strings that are punchy and sweet, while the wound strings are rich and burly. A rewarding strummer with great string-to-string clarity and a note detail that also lends itself to fingerpicking, this guitar has also been fitted with an L.R. Baggs Lyric microphone system, featuring Baggs’ Tru-Mic, mounted directly to the bridge plate. This pickup faithfully captures the natural tone of the instrument with great feedback rejection. This Hank Williams Jr. weighs 4lbs 6oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
