Celebrating an icon in the world of pre-WWII acoustics, Gibson offers the 1936 Advanced Jumbo. The first of Gibson's round-shouldered dreadnoughts, the Advanced Jumbo has become a sought-after acoustic among collectors and touring players alike.

The 1936 Advanced Jumbo features a solid, thermally aged red spruce top and rosewood back and sides — a tonewood pairing legendary for its big volume and rich, full tone. The 1936 also features a beautiful mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard that offers smooth playability and stellar response — a favorite neck among guitarists here at Gino Guitars.

The thermal aging process on the 1936 involves subjecting the tonewoods to the perfect level of heat over a carefully selected span of time. Because the red spruce top on the 1936 Advanced Jumbo has been thermally aged, all the impurities and moisture that stunt the overall tone of the wood have been removed, resulting in a sound that is pure and time-worn. The low end is more expansive; the midrange balanced; the high end clean and forward. The 1936 is equally at home in an ensemble or solo performance.

Descending from Gibson's large HG Hawaiian guitar in 1929, and the original "Jumbo," introduced in 1934, the Advanced Jumbo is steeped in Gibson tradition and lauded for its pure, rich tone and impressive volume. With smooth lines, and a curvaceous shape, Advanced Jumbo style guitars invite a close relationship with their respective guitarists. Their body shape makes these guitars easier to hold and more comfortable. The 1936 Advanced Jumbo gives you a meticulous re-creation of a very rare and sought-after guitar from a formative period in Gibson's illustrious history.
