[The truth about Historic line]

I purchased a 2020 Gibson 1936 AJ Historic Collection in April and it does not show like this - practically no sign of hide glue anywhere.

After owning a couple of dozen Martins and Gibsons including a D28 Marquis, HD28V, Custom OM-18 Sinker Mahogany, OM-42 and two AJs  (one a Luthier's Choice) -  I honestly believe this one is here to stay.  If the opportunity arises - Try ONE !!!

 Also own a 2019 Banner J45 Custom 19-fret  (almost identical to the Historic version except for the tuners)  - also stellar!

 

[Southern Jumbo 1942]

Just received my 1936 Advanced Jumbo - took about 3 months.

Located eastern Canada.

Stellar instrument - everything I was hoping for.!
