I never liked Gibson acoustics, and always thought Martin was the best, but even tho, I still think vintage Martins kick butt, after playing this guitar for a few minutes I have to tell you...this is one of the easiest, smoothest playing acoustics I ever tried... Im not a flat top picker by any means, but I know this guitar is something else...it is super easy to play, action is unbelievable , and tone is balanced, and rich... this is a great guitar... one of those things i would love to keep if i could justify $2500 guitar under my bed... awesome instrument

Nice!
Looks like a dreadnought to me. Not a jumbo. |

don't want to sound dumb, but I don't even know the difference between dreadnought and jumbo... this is the sticker thats on the inside of the guitar
I absolutely love this guitar... it's changing my opinion of Gibson acoustics ...

Advanced Jumbo In the mid '30s, Gibson luthiers set about to build the best-sounding, most powerful flat-top acoustic ever. The result was the Advanced Jumbo. Widely known today as one of Gibson’s most powerful acoustics, early catalogs proclaimed, "You have never heard a guitar like this …a bass so deep and full that it can be felt as well as heard." The catalog didn't exaggerate. What Gibson’s luthiers discovered was a resonance-enhancing, advanced X-bracing pattern that had not been used before. The results were a deeper bass and increased projection. During the three years the AJ was in its first production run, Gibson made about 300 of them. It wasn't until 1990 that Gibson reintroduced the AJ and their value as a vintage-tone time capsule was recognized. The AJ offers rich harmonics with excellent punch and presence. A Historic Collection headstock decal pays tribute to what many consider the ultimate flat-top.
The spruce top and rosewood back & sides are finished with a simple, singly-ply binding. A traditional sound hole rosette, mother-of-pearl diamond and arrow inlays are handset in the rosewood fingerboard and the classic MOP script logo with MOP vertical diamond and arrow inlay make this limited edition instantly recognizable as a classic.
Each guitar includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity, hardshell case with plush-lined interior, an owner's manual, Gibson's Gold Warranty and Gibson's 24/7/365 Customer Service.
Handcrafted by the acclaimed luthiers of Gibson's acoustic facility in Bozeman, Montana, production is limited in 2013.
100% American-made quality Gibson handcrafted construction throughout
Sitka Spruce top with Indian Rosewood back and sides
Rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl diamond and arrow inlays
Mahogany neck with traditional 25 1/2 scale
Nickel vintage open-back tuners with 15:1 tuning ratio |

A friend sold me one of those. I was looking for a J-45, but he came up with one of these. It will hold its own against my Martins, but it's still got that "snap" that fiddlers like to hear. I gave it to a friend's son, when he finished high school.
Good price on a GREAT guitar.
BTW, that IS a dreadnaught--with sloped shoulders.
Man, I wish I had money! Somebody's gonna get a deal! |

The Gibson Southern Jumbo (SJ) was built along the same lines. Most people (if they think about it at all!) assume that Don Everly's guitar parts on the early EB recordings were played on his J-200 but they weren't. He always used his SJ.
Not as pretty as a J-200 but a better guitar.

That acoustic guitar is "Saunders Sunburst" !!!!! A Mullen pedal steel guitar flavor that is as popular today as it was several years ago when Mr. Saunders invented it !!!!!

| Mark, I didn't invent the Mullen sunburst, but I did order a D10 from Mullen and asked that they copy the Gibson sunbursts used on their guitars. The Mullen pictured above is done in Zanzebaar Ebony mica that I copied from a Carter I saw in Dallas. |
