Legendary style and sound with Murphy Lab Heavy Aging

During a time when cultural optimism was low, Gibson dreamed up a new line of “advanced” instruments; included in those models was the Advanced Jumbo. Due to low production numbers from 1936-1939, this model largely flew under the radar even though it was a supreme-sounding and performing instrument. Gibson Custom is pleased to once again offer the Gibson 1936 Advanced Jumbo, outfitted with a thermally aged red spruce top and hide glue-fitted hand-scalloped X-bracing that help to give it the tone of a long-treasured musical companion, solid rosewood back and sides, and a mahogany neck with a 25.5” (647.7 mm) scale length, vintage Advanced Jumbo profile, a rosewood fretboard with a 12” fretboard radius, 19 standard frets, and mother-of-pearl diamonds and arrows inlays. The bridge is the original open slot rectangular style, and the firestripe pickguard features the original Advanced Jumbo shape. The nut, saddle, and bridge pins are all bone, and the tuning machines are premium Waverly tuners. The 1936 Advanced Jumbo Heavy Aged brings back all the tone and prestige that made these such sought-after instruments by artists and collectors. It features Heavy Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Heavy Aged finish treatment, paired with heavily aged nickel hardware, simulates decades of heavy play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era. Expect a heavy weather-checked finish, heavy belt buckle wear, light arm wear, and light neck wear. Here’s your chance to own one of Gibson’s most coveted vintage acoustic guitar models, with all the tone, vibe, playability, and appearance of a vintage original without the vintage price tag and potential issues that can accompany an eighty-year-old guitar. A period-correct hardshell case from Gibson Custom is included, along with a certificate of authenticity.
