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.
With its historic AJ profile and hand-scalloped Advanced X-bracing, the 1936 Advanced Jumbo delivers exceptional sound quality and resonance. The thin nitrocellulose finish enhances the natural tone while providing a classic vintage look. Whether you're a performer seeking rich, balanced tones or a collector appreciating meticulous craftsmanship, this guitar stands out as a timeless piece of musical history.
Experience the legacy and craftsmanship of the Gibson 1936 Advanced Jumbo—an instrument that truly transcends time.
