Gibson Custom 1936 Advanced Jumbo Vintage Sunburst

A flagship dreadnought from Gibson Custom, this AJ comes with a Adirondack spruce top and choice Indian rosewood back and sides. The long scale adds a nice low end and makes it perfect for projection.

From Gibson Guitar’s Website: "During a time when cultural optimism was low, Gibson dreamed up a new line of "advanced" instruments; included in those models was the Advanced Jumbo. Due to low production numbers from 1936-1939, this model largely flew under the radar even though it was a supreme sounding and performing instrument. The Gibson Acoustic Custom Shop is pleased to once again offer the Gibson 1936 Advanced Jumbo, outfitted with a Thermally Aged Adirondack red spruce top, rosewood back and sides, and premium Waverly tuners. The 1936 Advanced Jumbo brings back all the tone and prestige that made these such a sought-after instrument by artist and collectors."
