This topic came to me from one of the member of the friends of five watt group on Patreon. He even leant me a copy of the definitive work on the subject! As is usually the case, I learned a LOT doing the research on this one and honestly the size of the script scared me just a little. But at just under 37 minutes its still shorter than the Les Paul SH and that's over a million views. So chalk one up for pure curiosity. :)
Thanks for all your support in watching the videos and think about joining me on Patreon. I'd really like to ramp up that group this year.
A very special "thank you" to my "super friend" level patrons on Patreon:

Bill S.
Piush D.
Rick B.
All the best,
Keith

The day I was finally able to walk into Guitar Center, point to the brand new Southern Jumbo on the top shelf and say “I’ll take it” was one of the best days of my life.

[@MrMh722]

That’s awesome

[@lh3428]

May you play it with great joy.

[@regularjim3193]

I inherited a Southern Jumbo from my Dad. It was one step above firewood when I got it. Missing and broken braces, broken tuning knobs, a homemade whittled out bridge in the wrong place. it was poorly refinished in Natural polyurethane around 1970. Cowboy frets worn down nearly to the fretboard, and you could have driven a truck under the strings. Best I can tell it's a 1946 model, based on the script logo, no banner, no neck binding, no serial number or FON of any sort. I had it restored by a highly regarded luthier about three years ago, retaining the original tuners, pick guard, and silk screen logo, new braces, new bone nut and saddle, new rosewood bridge, neck reset, and a new nitrocellulose sunburst finish. He also managed to clean the stains off of the parallelogram inlays to make them bright and shiny again instead the color of nicotine. I know you're not supposed to refinish old guitars, but in this case, the damage was already done. Now I have an heirloom quality instrument with a new life. I could've bought a new one for less than the luthier bill, I felt responsible for making sure this piece of history was done right.

[@Gongasoso]

Now don't forget to play it 😉

[@JohnnyRebKy]

That’s really cool!! I had a Advanced Jumbo but I lost it in a house fire 🔥. A new one is 5k now so I bought another Martin D28 instead. I’ve had it a couple weeks now but I still have the itch for a Gibson. It seems I just can’t be happy unless I have both 🤦‍♂️

[@Gitfidlpickr]

@@JohnnyRebKy That is why they have credit unions. I'vE purchased several pricey guitars via credit union (automatic payment )(painless)

[@JohnnyRebKy]

@@Gitfidlpickr I’m not in the habit of buying things I can’t afford. It leads to trouble. If I don’t have the money I don’t buy it

[@Gitfidlpickr]

@@JohnnyRebKy Good for you Johnny.

[@NikkiPottnick]

Just bought my dream guitar tonight, a J-45 TV. Ive been wanting one for 10 years now, and finally felt the time was right as far as money and where I’m at in life. Truly a milestone for me as I never thought I’d see the day I could do this. A lot of hard work.

[@pwayne3580]

My dad gave me his ‘63 j-45 when I turned 16. It’s been my main cannon for my last 30 years. It sounds better every time it gets played. I’m giving it to my son.

[@dave42177]

You are lucky. It took me a long time to even try a j45. I Never even considered one. Never even liked Gibby acoustics. Now, 20 something yrs later I realized it's the most magical guitar ever created. I've got some great Martin's. A great Guild. Larrivee, Taylor, etc. I bought my first J45 last April and barely touch any of my other acoustics now. Actually ended up buying a second j45 in October. For strumming and singing. Nothing else comes close

[@johnsee7269]

Whoops! Didn't expect that simple, elegant, superbly beautiful performance by the Duke! Had to rewind and turn up the volume; a couple a times... Marvelous surprise! 😊

[@kelley71]

I am an amateur hobbyist guitar builder. I have studied for years. Sir, this is probably the best video I have seen for Gibson history. Great job.

[@VonNostrus]

“A rectangular bridge, floating in a sea of sunburst” ….. come on, now that is just pure poetry!!!

[@williamknell864]

Duke Levine's piece was gorgeous! Also, Rick's C&W is beauty.

[@BizarrePudding]

Duke Levine is beyond description as a player (and a hell of a nice guy as well!)...I saw him live in a bar in NYC years ago...He did a solo electric instrumental version of Strawberry Fields Forever that had my head spinning for weeks afterwards...Glad he's getting some well-deserved attention and appreciation...

[@edwardmclaughlin7935]

What a superbly produced video.

[@williamsanderson9279]

What a "Jumbo" SH. You captured the storied history and the sonic essence of Gibson flattops perfectly with superb playing examples of guitars most of us will never play, great pictures of vintage guitars and a story that keeps us engaged. Home run!

[@robinleebraun7739]

Wonderful short history. Can't believe the tones coming from those Gibsons.

[@Superjet113]

I just bought a Takamine Jumbo a month ago. Been waiting for it for 2 years. I always wanted a Jumbo just because it was BIG. I never knew the history of it, so this is very interesting. Thank you 5 Watt World!

[@BizarrePudding]

Wow, you've outdone yourself this time Keith, which is saying something!...This is amazing!!! I have 3 Gibson acoustics - an mid 50s L50, a '46 LG2 (both bequeathed to me via family ALL of whom played Gibson acoustics beginning the late '30s/early '40s) and a 2004 Songwriter (one of Ren Ferguson's last designs for Gibson) which I got last February for $1700...They are ALL absolutely amazing guitars (though none of them are true Jumbos and the L50 is an archtop)... I can go on forever about all of this but I'll just say THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video...It might sound crazy to say but I believe that despite their long, storied and highly influential history, Gibson acoustic guitars somehow get the short shrift in some strange way...hopefully this video goes a long way to correcting that... All the players in this vid sounded exceptional (Molly Tuttle on that J-200 - WHOA!) but thanks in particular for giving Duke Levine some exposure - he deserves to be much wider appreciated, his playing in this vid actually got me a little teary-eyed...(Not criticizing but did your namesake Mr. Richards not get a mention along with his famed Hummingbird?...Maybe he did, I'll keep an eye out when I re-watch) And finally remember the old adage - Good ol' boys play Martins Bad boys play Gibsons Choirboys play Taylors Thanks again Keith, this salvaged what has been up till now a thoroughly crappy week!

[@ChaddSullivan]

Those songwriter models are consistently excellent

[@BizarrePudding]

@@ChaddSullivan Thanks, yeah...seems to be a Gibson model that flies under the radar somewhat... based on the experience I've had with mine over the past year I'd say they well worth checking out if you're in the market...

[@SELKCOMM]

[@DBCisco]

IMHO, Gibson went to crap with Norlin and ever since. You have some of what I consider "Real Gibsons".

[@ericwarrington6650]

The amount of detail and stories of lore in this video are really incredible Keith...I'm blown away...I really know very little about these guitars...Its fascinating

[@larrywarrenmusic]

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

Thank you, Keith! Love the Short Histories! A lot of information packed into this one- appreciate the hard work, and all the sounds. I might need to start looking for my 'forever' acoustic...

[@minimalistmusician]

This one was so engaging! I didn't realize how much I love those Gibson flat tops until now. Thanks again for having me. You're a great human and you tell fantastic stories.

[@fivewattworld]

Thanks for making the video with me Eric. You did great stuff for this one. I really appreciate it.

[@edryba4867]

Great HUMAN? As opposed to WHAT? But seriously, Keith Williams has indeed become an EXTREMELY good host for these Five Watt World videos. I have enjoyed every one of them, especially those made about guitar brands that I own! If someone from Network TV actually were to grow a few brain cells (and don’t hold your breath waiting for THAT to happen!), our Mr. Williams just may find himself doing some high-dollar gig, being the face and voice of some informational weekly Network TV show. Hey, it could happen! After all, I wound up Directing network television!

[@edphaze6550]

This video helped me identify and learn about a Gibson acoustic guitar that was left to me by my recently deceased Uncle. Based on this video, and other research I’ve done, it’s a beautiful example of a 1969 J50 with the round shoulders. I’m a big fan of the channel, but this video was of particular interest for me, on a personal level.

[@ryaneggleston4585]

Keith, you beautifully blend storytelling and history and leave me inspired to play. Well done as always

[@fivewattworld]

Thanks Ryan

[@ChaddSullivan]

I set out to find myself a great D18 half a dozen years ago. After playing more than one hundred guitars, I came home with a 2016 J-45. As it ages and opens up, I love it more and more. I did eventually buy a D18, but it has made its way out the door because this J-45 gives me what I want to hear from an acoustic guitar.

[@timbaxter9932]

Best "A Short History" video yet. The live clips add sooooo much more to the story!

[@Gratefulman1965]

I’m an owner of a new 50’s series j50 and it’s a beauty. Lightweight, resonant and a nice tone out of the gate. I wanted vintage but could not afford one. I notice you stated the j50 beginning in 1950 but it actually debut in 42’ but put on hold due to war until 47’ when it was added to production. I love many Gibson oldies but the j50 is to me in a class all it’s own. Thanks for this video!

[@stillkickinbandgeorgianbay900]

Great personal documentary on the history of Gibson jumbo flat tops. I am blessed with inheriting my father's 1939 AJ Gibson, and an uncle's 1942 D28 Martin. Both are exceptional guitars with very different voices. Thanks for the entertaining information.

[@DaveJacoby]

The missing fact is that "Jumbo" was the name of an elephant that was part of P.T. Barnum's circus. I know this is Five Watt World, not Name Explain, but if we know Dreadnaught is the name of the first battleship, we should know where this name came from as well. Great work.

[@Terribleguitarist89]

I never knew the origin of the word. That's pretty cool.

[@michaelgallagher3640]

It's called Jumbo because of its size, not because of a circus animal that died 50 years prior.

[@DaveJacoby]

@@michaelgallagher3640 the word "Jumbo" exists because an elephant is big, and only existed as Swahili for "Hello" before then.

[@eljison]

True, but the Martin Dreadnaught was specifically named after the battleship of the same name. The Gibson's were not named after the elephant.

[@DaveJacoby]

@@eljison then where did the word come from?

[@SeanKerns]

Took me a few days, but I've been looking forward to this one. Great job, Keith! And the playing is great!

[@promerops]

[@tonyfdesign]

Great job Keith. These videos are so fun. And I can only imagine the amount of work involved. Well done! Whenever you show that b/w photo of the old Gibson plant I think how amazing it would be to go back in time and tour that facility. Imagine not just the cool guitars but the characters making them. The old tools, jigs, stacks of old growth wood, the “power”equipment. Even the cool old cars in the lot! American craftsmanship at work!

After about 25 years of playing guitar I finally bought my ‘forever’ guitar a few years ago - a Gibson J-45. It was worth the wait. A year or two ago I left a comment on another 5 Watt video, asking if a J-45 short history might be in the works. “It’s on the list” was Keith’s reply. This was also worth the wait. Another great video. Thank you - you made my Friday night.

[@TurboGibby-bh8bu]

Thank you Keith!

[@stewartmproductions]

Excellent as always Keith. 2013/1936 AJ Reissue here. In a room full of Martins, Larriveés and Taylors that were exceptional, the Gibson spoke to me. Glad you got your custom dream guitar.

[@matthewmcclure3181]

Duke Levine's playing is stunning. Another really well done video by 5WW, especially providing clarity around the 254 different models Gibson launched in the 30s-50s. Collecting and playing pre-war guitars is a major passion, and I'm been fortunate to own instruments from a wide range of companies from this era. At the risk of making a comment that won't be received well, Gibson pre-war guitars rank 4th behind Martin, Larson Bros, and even a few models of the higher end Oscar Schmidt brands (Stella, Sovereign, etc.) in my opinion. I kept and still play a 1929 L-1 and a 1934 Kalamazoo so I think my comment has more to do with their iconic competition than suggesting Gibson's weren't good instruments. However, it's led me to a negative bias for post-war Gibsons that I need to reconsider. I was really impressed with the Southern Jumbo showcased in this video. My biggest takeaway is an intent to take another look at a few of the models from the 40s and 50s, maybe the 60s too. As far as modern guitars are concerned there are so many exceptional makers today that I don't really think in terms of brands for new guitars (it's now more instrument specific).

[@fivewattworld]

Dukes Southern Jumbo IS a head turner alright.

I just subscribed to your channel and it’s very good. I was given as a gift from my uncle who taught me everything about how to play guitars. He went to Gruen and picked up a jumbo 200 that was made in Montana when they closed that factory down they made 32 of these of which I have number 28. It’s an amazing and beautiful guitar, spruce top rosewood sides, mahogany I love what you’re doing here showing all these very cool guitars. Thanks from a new subscriber.

[@keithl7939]

Really interesting video. You've nicely steered us through the complex history of an iconic group of instruments. I have a Custom SJ200, bought about 10 years ago, in the style of the early SJ200s - rosewood back and sides - and it plays a dream. Can barely believe the sound when I pick it up. I love Martins (I also have a D35) but this is unbeatable.

[@justinchilds1593]

Really great video Keith!!! I learned a lot on this one. I love that Elderly Instruments was mentioned. I purchased my first Norlin era Les Paul from them in the early 2000s.

[@picksalot1]

Thanks for giving the Acoustics some love. I used to have an old B25 12-String. Nice guitar, it had the internal cross brace and screw system used to keep the top from collapsing. It had a beautiful sound. I gave it to a friend whose Guild 12-String was too big. After some time, he wanted the guitar to sound louder, so the original bridge was replaced and some other work was done to it. Gone was the beautiful sound. It makes me feel like crying when I think of what happened to that guitar. 😢

[@dalepal]

Kudos for doing another informative and thorough guitar history video. Gibson acoustics have been used on more iconic songs we know and love than people realize.

[@michaelstanger6907]

Very well done, Keith! Gibson's flat top history is very complicated, and you did an excellent job describing it all. I've been a guitar player for 56 years; A Gibson was the first good guitar I ever pla'yed, but I only came to appreciate their quality gradually. For many years, I played Martins. My first truly exceptional guitar was a Gibson 1939 Advanced Jumbo, purchase from a friend. This guitar actually landed me a job at their Montana factory 10 years later, as I was only one of 2 employees who knew that model. (Ren Ferguson was the other guy.) Their power doesn't come from only the long-scale neck; the AJ only has 19 frets. Losing the last fret allowed the bridge to move upward just a bit, placing it in the body's sweet spot. The AJ was Gibson's first authentic recreation of one of their historic vintage guitars, and the Montana factory''s first attempt at building these re-issues. A lot was riding on them for the company. I was lucky , as I was able to buy one of the first 100 or so made, and it has been my go-to acoustic flat top ever since. These days, I own more Gibsons than any others. One is especially rare, an early plectrum 4-string guitar. What was especially interesting to me was we both agreed on a Gibson neither of us own. A friend's wife's 1957 Country & Western is still my favorite all-round Gibson for it's playability, volume and tone. I'll never own it, but I still love to play it when I can.

[@macdaddyblues1]

Keith once again thank you, you have indeed the best podcasts on all things musically. Not enuff emphasis on acoustic guitar playing, for that is where most of us start playing. Although I don't own one, one of my favorite acoustic guitars is a Gibson J-200, from the aforementioned George Harrison's Here comes the sun(which was conceived in Eric Clapton's garden to Jimmy Page's Black Mountain Side (played on Big Jim Sullivan's J-200) to alot of early Stills and Young and Dylan on Nashville Skyline to everyone else in-between. These Jumbos especially the J-200 has that very special color depth sound, not to mention easy on the eyes. Again thanks for this special acoustic five watt world.....🕶️

In my modest collection of guitars, the Gibson J-185s are my favorites. I have matching 6 & 12 strings in natural built in the Bozeman shop. It helps that the shop is only 150 miles away & I know some of the staff from my college days!

Great video Keith. Back in 2012 I'd been looking for a good acoustic for some years and tried out several Martin D-28s and Gibson J-45s, unable to choose between the two models. On a trip to Bilbao in northern Spain I went out for a stroll and stumbled on a guitar shop which had a J-45 in the middle of the shop window. I went into the shop to try it and it really spoke to me. It had a beautiful rich but well balanced sound, perfect for all styles, and I loved its simple unfussy looks. Needless to say, I bought it on the spot and have enjoyed it immensely ever since. I totally agree with you about the quality of the instruments made in Bozeman. Definitely a smart move to shift production of their acoustics to that part of the world.

[@HenryPipes]

I have always been a huge Martin fan. Been through D15's D-18's, D'28, all of which were fine but nothing spoke to me like the day I found my 2009 J-45. It is my once in a lifetime guitar. It reminds me a lot of Rick's guitar. Amazing instrument.

[@nonsuch]

Cool vid! I bought a brand new J-45 Rosewood in 2004. It sounds like it's recorded, compressed, mixed, mastered, and coming out of a great set of speakers as I'm playing it. I couldn't be happier with it. It's hard to believe it's already 18 years old!

Keith? You touched the heart of this Gibson guy today. Your work is a treat, nay, treasure to absorb. Your history in education counseling shows in complete robust detail. I play regularly and publicly my Gibson J 45 Red Sunburst. It is studio quality, albeit modified to bring the voice of the woods and over glued processes of the mid 60's. My family is Gibson. And we are realists. So stay in the saddle a long time, I will eventually support. My own channel will grow as well.
