Gibson Custom Shop / 2013 Historic Collection Advanced Jumbo
The "Advanced Jumbo" was born in 1936 and was manufactured for a very short period of time until about 1940.
It is the successor to the "Jumbo" released in 1934, and has a 16" round shoulder jumbo body with spruce top/rosewood sides and back, and a 25.5" scale neck.
The specifications suggest that it may have been designed with Martin's dreadnought in mind, and as a Gibson lover, it is a very endearing model considering its ephemeral nature, having only been manufactured for a short time.
This time we have a 2013 Hiscolle model in stock.
The first thing that catches the eye is the diamond/arrowheads inlay on the head and position markings, which is unique to Advanced Jumbo, and the fingerboard binding. It is a mysterious design that is both cool and cute at the same time.
Other features include a rectangular bridge, firestripe pickguard, Waverly-type Grover pegs, and other specifications from the '30s, giving it an attractive vintage respectful look.
The rosewood body and long scale specifications produce a massive and deep sound.
The glossy treble is different from other Gibson J-45s and Southern Jumbo, and has a pleasant sound.
It doesn't sound like a Gibson when you play it, but when you compare it with a Martin guitar, it makes you think "It's a Gibson after all", which is one of the charms of this model.
The neck has the grip of a late 30's neck with a thin C shape.
The nut width is 44mm, which is not that wide, but the neck itself feels wide when you hold it.
We would recommend this guitar to those who love Gibson and are looking for an unusual piece of Gibson guitar.
