Gibson Acoustic 2018 Limited Advanced Jumbo, Vintage Sunburst

Gibson Acoustic 2018 Limited Advanced Jumbo, Vintage Sunburst Overview

In the mid '30s, Gibson luthiers set about to build the best-sounding, most powerful flat-top acoustic ever. The result was the Advanced Jumbo. Widely known today as one of Gibson’s most powerful acoustics, early catalogues proclaimed "You have never heard a guitar like this …a bass so deep and full that it can be felt as well as heard." The brochure didn't exaggerate! What Gibson’s luthiers discovered was a resonance-enhancing, advanced X-bracing pattern that had not been used before. The results were a deeper bass, increased projection and enhanced dynamic range. During the three years the AJ was in its first production run, Gibson made about 300 of them- this 2018 Limited Run is one of just 100.
