Gibson Murphy Lab 39' SJ-100 (Heavy Aged Faded Vintage Sunburst) inc Hard Case

This meticulously crafted replica brings the legendary 1939 SJ-100 Super Jumbo within reach of modern players, capturing the essence of one of Gibson's rarest and most sought-after acoustic guitars. Originally produced for just a few short years between 1939-1942, the mahogany-backed Super Jumbo 100 has become a holy grail among collectors and vintage Gibson enthusiasts worldwide. The Gibson Custom Shop in Bozeman, Montana has faithfully recreated every detail of this exceptional instrument, from its thermally aged red spruce top with hand-scalloped X bracing to its solid mahogany back and sides.

The guitar features a 2-piece maple neck with a comfortable rounded profile and 25.5" scale length, topped with a bound ebony fretboard containing 20 standard frets and mother-of-pearl dot inlays. Notable vintage appointments include the distinctive "stair step" headstock design, Gibson script logo inlaid in mother of pearl, vintage SJ-100 style firestripe pickguard, and ebony moustache bridge. Waverly tuners with ivoroid knobs and bone nut, saddle and bridge pins complete the authentic vintage specification.

The Murphy Lab artisans have applied their expert aging techniques to give this instrument the appearance and feel of a treasured vintage companion that's been played for decades. This approach allows players to own one of Gibson's most coveted acoustic models with all the tone, character and visual appeal of an original 1939 example, but without the astronomical price tag or potential structural concerns that often accompany genuine 80-year-old instruments. A Gibson Custom hardshell case is included with purchase.
