The Gibson 1934 Jumbo undoubtedly embodies the spirit of the 1930s with its authentic construction and original materials . The Advanced Jumbo comes with solid tonewoods that have been thermo treated to give the impression that the instrument has been played for decades. Furthermore, the top is equipped with a hand-filed Scalloped-Advanced-X-Bracing , which ensures a very fast and perfect response. Therefore, the acoustic guitar is perfectly suited for expressive strumming and vocal accompaniment. Visually, the overall appearance is dominated by the striking AJ pickguard , the vintage sunburst finish and the old Gibson lettering on the headstock. The scope of delivery includes an accessory kit and a sturdy guitar case.
Construction and woodsTo ensure that all frequencies are developed clearly and distinctly, the top is made of Adirondack spruce , because this coarse-grained tonewood was already preferred for the construction of high-quality musical instruments in the early 20th century. Due to an elaborate thermo treatment and the flat bracing, the Guitar generates a powerful tone even with light strokes, which is enriched with a pleasant warmth thanks to the mahogany body . The strong mahogany neck has a 'V' profile for perfect playability. In addition, the slightly shortened 635 mm scale length reduces string tension, allowing each string to be easily pressed in each of the 19 frets . The fingerboard is made of rough-grained rosewood.
Hardware and DesignWhile a compensated bridge inlay and the corresponding 44.45 mm wide bone nut ensure a clean intonation in all positions, the Waverly nickel tuners with butterbean buttons guarantee a precise tuning of the 6 steel strings . Between the tuners, the venerable company logo is enthroned, which is additionally accentuated by the mother-of-pearl inlays of the fingerboard . To round off the antique charm of the Gibson 1934 Jumbo, the top is bordered with a yellowish single-ply binding , which is color-coordinated with the single-ring soundhole rosette . Another highlight is the large pickguard that perfectly matches the Finish.
