Gibson Aaron Lewis Southern Jumbo Signature Acoustic Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case
Whoever thought parental advisory warnings and acoustic guitars don’t mix never heard Aaron Lewis. The Grammy-nominated songwriter, frontman for hit rock band Staind, wrote some of the last decade’s most enduring and gut-wrenching songs (“Outside,” “It’s Been Awhile”) using his collection of vintage Gibson acoustics. Gibson Acoustic honors Lewis’ continued artistry with the introduction of the Aaron Lewis Southern Jumbo Standard, a replica of Lewis’ prized 1951 acoustic. The Gibson Acoustic Aaron Lewis Southern Jumbo guitar is an exact replica of Aaron’s most treasured acoustic, his 1951 Gibson Southern Jumbo. As Aaron has said, “Those are the crown jewels. I don’t think I could go out in front of audiences and do the intimate kind of show I do without those guitars. They provide the perfect accompaniment to my voice. The deep resonance from each of those guitars –when you hear them ring out, with their sound bouncing off the walls of the theatres – it’s just staggering. Sometimes I think I don’t even have to sing. Let these guitars do the singing for me!” The Aaron Lewis Southern Jumbo embraces all the premium elements that made the Southern Jumbo a classic upon its arrival in the 1940s — solid premium Sitka spruce top, nitrocellulose Vintage Sunburst finish, 6-ply top binding and 4-ply back binding — but with the modern updates that Lewis relies on, like a built-in L.R. Baggs Element pickup with soundhole-mounted volume control. Body and Finish Crafted with a mahogany back and sides and a premium Sitka spruce top — durable yet lightweight tonewoods that are excellent at conducting sound. We have created one standard model and one aged and distressed to appear exactly like Aaron Lewis’ original guitar. Available in Vintage Sunburst finish. Hardware The Aaron Lewis Southern Jumbo features custom aged Kluson Tuners and a built-in L.R. Baggs Element pickup that offers a broad, natural projection of the guitar’s natural tone, without interfering with the vibration of the top and bridge when played unplugged. Neck and Headstock The neck of the Aaron Lewis Southern Jumbo is made from one piece of solid mahogany and is graced with a Madagascar rosewood fingerboard. The traditional headstock is carved from the same piece of mahogany as the neck. Both neck and headstock are offset by single-ply white binding and the aged model has been hand-distressed to emulate the look and feel of Lewis’ original guitar. Accessories The Aaron Lewis Southern Jumbo is protected by a Gibson hardshell case. Each guitar comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Aaron Lewis and Gibson’s Master Luthier. All guitars include an owner’s manual and Gold Warranty.
