(Discontinued) Gibson Jackson Browne Model 1

(Discontinued) Gibson Jackson Browne Model 1

This is a new model from Gibson, finally being released after some years of development and prototyping with Jackson Browne. Based on the 1930’s deep jumbo Roy Smeck models, this guitar has a massive sound, huge projection, and a full, clearly articulated tone.
