Gibson: Don't Mess with a Good Thing
Gibson guitars have been around for well over a century. When guitarists are looking for an outstanding combination of superb tone and playability along with great looks and gorgeous finishes, the choice for most of those 100 plus years has been Gibson. From their amazing collection of fine acoustics to the electric guitars that literally rewrote music history, Gibson guitars have been on almost every chart-topping album from artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream and Led Zeppelin. These "first call" instruments also cross an enormous array of diverse styles, from folk and country to blues and hard rock. With that resume, it's not surprising that so many of Gibson's best-selling instruments have changed little over the decades. Because there's just no sense in messing with a good thing!

A constant source of inspiration

by Manuel Romero from San Diego, CA, USA

Music Background: Hobbyist
I bought this amazing instrument after several weeks of discussion and generous feedback from Sweetwater Expert David Hess. Even though I have auditioned a few of these beauties in the past, at the mo... read more [+]ment of buying on-line I relied firmly on his expertice: he selected the right guitar for me.The sound of the Gibson Advanced Jumbo is incredible; it has a bright ringing tone, with a lot of sustain and powerful bass; it responds beautifully to fingerstyle, strumming and flatpicking. I can play it very loud, or take full advantage of its warm sound when playing some blues or songs in the singer/songwriter style. This guitar has revealed to me as a great source of inspiration, and I am sure that it will open and sound even better in the months to come. Thanks again, David! close [-]

Tone you can feel

by honedawg from KY

Music Background: Songwriter, Home Studio Owner
I had been searching for 2+ years for an new acoustic. I tried just about every model in the $1K-3K range but couldn't find anything comparable to my '84 Sigma. There was that one Borgeoius but it was... read more [+] $5K. Anyway, I had pretty much quit and was going to save up for a hand built when I happened on this Gibson AJ(built in July '06). As soon as I picked it up I loved it. It had a huge tone I could feel throughout my body while I played without the extra boomy bass of most loud guitars. In the din, there was still a good balance of jangle from the treble strings. Talk about resonance! And this was with light strings (12's).There were a few cosmetic flaws, the rosewood back and sides didn't book match well,a few sanding glitches on the neck @ the 16th fret, and what's up with the plastic bridge pins? One thing to note, I played another AJ that didn't sound nearly as good so make sure you play a few before you buy. Also, since it is sooo loud, you have to experiment with mic position for to truely capture this awesome sounding guitar. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

David Hess
The last one of these that hit Sweetwater lasted about two days. I bought it basically on the spot. The tone is amazing. There are overtones happening all over the place. The sustain is scary and bar chording sounds almost as rich and full as open chording on this instrument. The high E and B strings ring out with the same attack and fullness as the wound strings. Quite possibly the best tonally balanced acoustic guitar I've ever played. It’s certainly the loudest. And I've played a few.
