Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Fair

2010/2011

Luthiers Notes:

Guitar had a bridge reglue before coming to us, was done well but left some marks in the finish around the bridge. There are also some marks in the finish on the back that we attempted to buff out but are still visible. Frets 1-5 have been replaced and the whole guitar got a setup upon arrival leaving this guitar playing excellently.

If you are a fan of Gibson dreadnoughts but find the J-45 to be a bit too dry and woody sounding then you should definitely check out this used Gibson Advanced Jumbo that we've got in the shop right now! Playability is a dream after our luthier's work and this guitar is ready for the road or your living room! If you want a big powerful sound that would suit singer songwriters or just about any popular music needing acoustic guitar then check out this Gibson while it's here!

From Gibson Guitars

In the mid '30s, Gibson luthiers set about to build the best-sounding, most powerful flat-top acoustic ever. The result was the Advanced Jumbo. Widely known today as one of Gibson’s most powerful acoustics, early catalogs proclaimed, "You have never heard a guitar like this …a bass so deep and full that it can be felt as well as heard." The catalog didn't exaggerate. What Gibson’s luthiers discovered was a resonance-enhancing, advanced X-bracing pattern that had not been used before. The results were a deeper bass and increased projection. During the three years the AJ was in its first production run, Gibson made about 300 of them. It wasn't until 1990 that Gibson reintroduced the AJ and their value as a vintage-tone time capsule was recognized. The AJ offers rich harmonics with excellent punch and presence. A Historic Collection headstock decal pays tribute to what many consider the ultimate flat-top.

The spruce top and rosewood back & sides are finished with a simple, singly-ply binding. A traditional sound hole rosette, mother-of-pearl diamond and arrow inlays are handset in the rosewood fingerboard and the classic MOP script logo with MOP vertical diamond and arrow inlay make this limited edition instantly recognizable as a classic.
