The Story

1936 Advanced Jumbo Vintage Sunburst Used

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 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.

This is a used item in overall excellent condition with no players wear to be seen on it.

Includes: Hardshell Case
