Description
The Gibson Advanced Jumbo Original is a long-scale acoustic designed for players who want the depth and projection of a vintage dreadnought with the kind of stage-ready upgrades that actually matter. This one's a real fit for experienced players, especially flatpickers or singer-songwriters who lean into dynamic playing and want a guitar that fills the room. With styling rooted in Gibson's 1936 original, it's a nod to the pre-war era but still modern where it counts; you get LR Baggs VTC electronics on board, so it's ready to go from the living room to the stage without skipping a beat.
With its 25.5" scale length, Sitka spruce top, and rosewood back and sides, this thing has serious low-end authority and upper-end clarity-it's a tone that feels big, wide, and bold. The scalloped wide X-bracing keeps everything resonating efficiently, and that soft V-profile mahogany neck plays like a dream for both rhythm work and lead runs. Aesthetically, it's true to its roots with a firestripe pickguard, classic square bridge, and the mother-of-pearl diamond-and-arrow inlays Gibson fans know and love.
Playability is where it really wins people over. The soft-V neck sits comfortably in the hand, and the bound rosewood board adds a touch of class without sacrificing feel. Open-gear Grover tuners keep it dialed in, and the nitrocellulose lacquer finish will age naturally over time, just like the originals. We've always trusted this model as one of the most reliable vintage-style acoustics out there, and this one's a standout-American-made and built to last.
