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. All three Southern Jumbo's come with a Certificate of Authenticity and the Aged Models are signed by Aaron Lewis. Each guitar include an owner’s manual and Gold Warranty.
