The Gibson Advanced Jumbo is one of the most revered pre war Gibson designs and influenced many later models. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the great depression, Gibson launched the ‘Advanced’ series of of instruments. They were designed to be louder, and more powerful for the professional musician playing in ensembles and on stage. Gibson acknowledged the capability of Martin guitars in this area, so it is no surprise that the Advanced Jumbo bears several similarities to the Martin Dreadnought. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Advanced Jumbo features a spruce top, mahogany neck with rosewood back and sides. As such, this guitar produces a dry, bright sound with great projection. Despite the physical resemblance to the J-45, this model is sonically not dissimilar to that of a Martin Dreadnought. This is due to the choice of tone woods and also the longer, 25.5” scale length - which aids in brightness and power. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar sports a K\u0026amp;K Pure mini pickup. This is a passive pickup, attached to the underside of the bridge. Aside from the tailpiece jack input, there are no modifications to the instrument. The K\u0026amp;Ks have no batteries, no controls. With an quality external preamp they provide a more natural acoustic sound than the under saddle piezo systems without much of that dreaded piezo ‘quack’. Seeing as they aren’t squished under the bridge saddle like a conventional piezo, the K\u0026amp;K does not detract from the acoustic quality of the instrument. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2003 model is in great shape, with only very slight markings on the finish and a small chip in the clear coat on the binding on the 7th fret (see photo).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe action is medium-low at 2mm on the low E at the 12th fret. At 43.7mm the nut width is wide enough to feel comfortable in larger hands without seeming chunky or cumbersome. Original frets are in great shape with minimal signs of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove the sound of Martins, but prefer the classy aesthetic of Gibson acoustics? This Advanced Jumbo may be the instrument you didn’t know you needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e______________________________\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBrand: Gibson\u003cbr\u003eModel: Advanced Jumbo\u003cbr\u003eCountry: USA\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2003\u003cbr\u003eSerial: 01083042\u003cbr\u003eCase: OHSC\u003cbr\u003eBody Colour: Sunburst\u003cbr\u003eNeck Colour: Natural\u003cbr\u003eFinish Type: Nitro\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: Rosewood\/ Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFretboard Material: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.5”\u003cbr\u003eFrets: 19\u003cbr\u003eFretboard Radius: 12”\u003cbr\u003eAction (Low E): 2mm\u003cbr\u003eNeck Profile: C\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 43.7mm\u003cbr\u003e10th Fret Width: 52mm\u003cbr\u003e1st Fret Depth: 20.7mm\u003cbr\u003e10th Fret Depth: 22.2mm\u003cbr\u003ePickups: K\u0026amp;K Pure Mini\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: Passive\u003cbr\u003eKnobs: N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePick Guard: Tiger Stripe Tortoiseshell\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Gotoh Open Back\u003cbr\u003eHardware: Chrome\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 2.15kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42532481859646,"sku":null,"price":3950.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/7489\/2350\/files\/1GibsonAdvancedJumboAcousticGuitar_Sunburst_USA_2003.jpg?v=1772680679","url":"https:\/\/fretboardjungle.com\/ja\/products\/gibson-advanced-jumbo-acoustic-guitar-sunburst-usa-2003","provider":"Fretboard Jungle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
