With a replica of the round-shoulder classic Advanced Jumbo , the American traditional manufacturer Gibson completes its Historic Collection from its famous custom store in Montana, constructed with the materials used in 1936 and with a detailed finish. A thermal treatment of the wood gives the impression that the instrument has been played for decades, shaping this into a masterpiece of guitar craftsmanship. With a sturdy molded case and a Gibson accessory kit , the whole package is perfectly completed.
As early as the early 20th century, the coarse-grained North American spruce wood from the Adirondack Mountains was used to build the finest musical instruments because of its high grade and unique sound. Easily recognized by its even texture and tremendously fast response , the wood produces a very powerful and clear sound that is highly expressive in the mid and treble frequencies. The fast and effortless unfolding of each note also makes the Advanced Jumbo attractive to fingerstyle and blues guitarists, as notes are especially long-lasting and decay smoothly in the overtones due to a thermo treatment of the wood, a Scalloped-X bracing and a paper-thin nitro finish . A vintage sunburst finish and a mackerel tear-drop pickguard adorn the top and give the impression that this particularly successful instrument is a true antique.
Precious rosewood for back and sides.Back and sides made of finest rosewoodAlso at that time, in order to enrich the sound with rich and clear bass frequencies, the highly sought-after rosewood was used for the back and sides , which, thanks to a coarse structure , produces an overall powerful and balanced sound, for which the manufacturer Gibson is known throughout the world to this day. The thin finish and the light construction of the large round-shoulder body also play a fundamental role here, as with their help the strong vibration behavior is favored and thus the sound image is enriched and strengthened with transparency and dynamics . Delimited by fine cream-colored bindings , the multifaceted grain of the dark tropical wood is particularly accentuated and creates an exciting overall picture for the viewer, which can hardly be surpassed in elegance and aesthetics.
A mahogany neck with Historic AJ profile and rosewood fingerboard.A round mahogany neck with an eye-catching fingerboard.Comfortable guitar playing is ensured by a mahogany neck with Historic "AJ" profile , which allows easy gripping without much effort and allows very generous access to all 19 frets . Thanks to a generous nut width of 44.45 mm , the fretboard has enough room to allow the player to perform difficult fingerings. The strikingly grained rosewood fingerboard is adorned with precious Mother-of-Pearl Diamonds-and-Arrows inlays , which mark the most important frets and emphasize the value of the material with their bright appearance. A bone nut and corresponding bridge inlay ensure clean intonation throughout the 648 mm scale.
Accessories and careA treasure of this kind naturally requires the best accessories for sustainable care. Therefore, not only a dimensionally stable case with purple interior , but also a Gibson Accessory Kit is included. The Advanced Jumbo is strung with a Gibson set in 0.012" to 0.053" gauge, which feel very soft and are pleasant to grip. Due to the thin texture of the varnish, it is recommended to maintain the instrument with the "optionally" available Gibson polish and to use it sparingly.
