Gibson Acoustic 1936 Advanced Jumbo Acoustic Guitar - Vintage Sunburst VOS Reviews
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 Sweetwater.

Excellent Gibson
This is a really nice slope shoulder rosewood dreadnought with a long scale neck (longer than a J45). The split diamond fret board and headstock inlays are beautiful and the vintage burst, fire stripe pickguard, and thin finish give it a nice vintage look. It's unique, and just nice to look at! It has its own balanced distinct sound that I describe as tighter and more focused than the classic Martin rosewood sound. Its good for strumming, but I like it best for fingerpicking. Definitely a nice guitar for classic acoustic rock. Though many love the AJ for bluegrass, I go to my square shoulder Martin Dreadnoughts for flatpicking, no contest. I went through my Gibson phase and this 1936 Custom Shop Advanced Jumbo and the Custom Shop 1942 Banner J45 were the only two Gibsons that I kept. They are both fine and unique acoustics.
Many thanks to my sales engineer Jake Barker for his advice and help with getting this fine axe.
