The guitar that started the legacy of Gibson Jumbo acoustics. Introduced in 1934, the aptly-named Jumbo was the largest flattop Gibson had produced up to that point, only available for two years before it was phased out and replaced by the AJ and J-35. Crafted at Gibson’s Bozeman, MT factory, this Custom Shop Historic reissue of the original features a thermally aged Adirondack red spruce top with traditional hand-scalloped advanced X bracing (hot hide glue construction), mahogany back/sides, Historic V neck profile, firestripe pickguard, and VOS Thin Finish Vintage Sunburst nitro lacquer finish.

Boasting a 25” scale length and 4 1/2” body depth, this Custom Historic 1934 Jumbo is an absolute cannon, with ample projection and power, a big, round low end and crisp, lively trebles.
