Gibson / 1934 Jumbo / 2020 / Sunburst / Guitar For Sale
This is the guitar that started the legacy of Gibson Jumbo Acoustics; the precursor to the famed ‘J’ series. In 1934 Gibson introduced the largest size acoustic guitar they had ever produced – think of a deep bodied J45 and that gives you an idea of the body size. Only produced for two years, Gibson recognised what an important turning point this was in Gibson’s production history, so it’s been revived by their Custom Shop. With a thermally aged Adirondack Red Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, and a historic deep ‘V’ neck profile, this guitar is as resonant, rich and articulate as it is powerful – and with the deeper body comes a greater bass response. As you’d expect from a Custom Shop Gibson, there are some classy finishing touches; an Abalone Script headstock logo, open back Waverley tuners, a bound fingerboard, fire stripe pickguard, rectangular bridge, and a small centred sunburst finish. The guitar is in good condition with great playability. It has a couple of light nicks and dings, an LR Baggs Anthem pickup, and comes in it’s original vintage style deluxe hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
