Luthier's Choice Gibson Advanced Jumbo built in 2002.
These Luthier’s Choice AJs were Master Built in every way!
Each hand made with a dovetail neck-to-body joint, a violin-like
lacquer finish and carved and scalloped top bracing. Materials include Brazilian Rosewood, fossilized bridge and nut material, Adirondack spruce top. In original excellent condition, as seen in the photos, this AJ is full of expression, character and classic beauty. The only modification is a strap button
installed at the neck heel. The setup is factory, with fossilized nut, saddle and bridgepin material, it plays well and has the very big tone and volume. No repairs ever done, no cracks anywhere. The finish looks great. Anything that looks like a blemish in the photos is a reflection. There is 1 small insignificant
ding that is hardly noticeable but I think should be mentioned near the strap button, doesn't show up in photograph even in the sunlight and some minor finish hazing, (not crazing) on the lower bout where the arm rests, couldn't get it to show in photos. The frets are in excellent shape. The original custom shop case is in nice condition too. These Brazilian / Adirondack AJs seem to be pretty rare and Gibson
will no longer use any Brazilian Rosewood on any instruments they build, that option ceased after 2003.
