suburude63 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Well I also went to the bank today and bought (actually won an auction on the Bay) an Advanced Jumbo Supreme. Madagascar Rosewood and an Adi top with Ebony bridge and fret board. I rolled the dice and won! Here it is . But I dont get it till next week. As soon as I get it Ill let you know what I think. Has anyone else on the forum got one of these or know production numbers or whatever. Theres very little on line ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarstrummer Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Do you know when it was made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Player Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Wow... beauty of an AJ! I would love the hear a regular AJ next to one of those. I find it interesting that even though it has an ebony bridge while the standards are rosewood, the photos seem to show that they went with a closed end bridge instead of the traditional open ended bridge like on mine. I wonder why, or is it just the angle of the picture and it is open ended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I tried to get production numbers about my "Firebird", apparently Gibson doesn't offer that info. Nice guitar.....by the way!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballcorner Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Advanced Jumbo Supreme - congratulations on both the guitar and the properly fitted plastic pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburude63 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Actually Ballcorner it comes with "bone" pins from the factory! I asked. I guess they could do it on a $5000+ guitar. Its a 2007 BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suburude63 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 The only thing I may change is the gold tuners. I am not a fan of them. suburude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefleppard Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The only thing I may change is the gold tuners. I am not a fan of them. suburude good plan. the gold are on sooo many models but most of them would look better with white buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NattyBumppo Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 good plan. the gold are on sooo many models but most of them would look better with white buttons. I guess I'm the odd man out on this because I actually feel the gold vintage style tuners look great with the classic sunburst and dark stained neck.

Gman Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Does it sound that much better than EIR and Sitka to warrant the $5000 price? By the way I like the Gold tuners I've got them on my 05 Really sets it off Gman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
