Gibson 1936 Advanced Jumbo Vintage Sunburst Acoustic Guitar

Born from Gibson's ambitious vision during an era of cultural uncertainty, the 1936 Advanced Jumbo emerged as one of the most remarkable acoustic guitars ever crafted, yet remained largely undiscovered due to its limited production run between 1936-1939. This supreme sounding instrument was part of Gibson's "advanced" line, designed to push the boundaries of acoustic guitar performance and tone.

The Gibson Acoustic Custom Shop has meticulously recreated this legendary model, featuring a thermally aged Adirondack red spruce top paired with rosewood back and sides, complemented by premium Waverly tuners. The authentic 1936 Advanced Jumbo maintains its historic AJ profile and hand-scalloped Advanced X-bracing, ensuring the exceptional sound quality and resonance that made these guitars so coveted by artists and collectors alike.

A thin nitrocellulose finish enhances the natural tonal characteristics whilst providing that classic vintage aesthetic that defines this era of guitar making. The combination of premium materials and traditional construction techniques results in rich, balanced tones that showcase the meticulous craftsmanship Gibson is renowned for, making this reissue a truly timeless piece of musical history.
