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 woods

To 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 Design

While 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.
