Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
A tremendous piece of proof that Gibson is at their best when they reach back to what made them great to begin with. The long scale, thin finish, and torrefied top make this an absolute cannon serving up nothing but big, rich, vintage tone.
SP Luthier Notes: Setup Confirmed
From Gibson Guitars
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.
