ACOUSTIC: CENTENNIAL SERIES

During 1994, Gibson began offering the acoustic Centennial series models to celebrate Gibson´s 100-year anniversary (1894 to 1994). There were twelve models in the program, and they were released at the rate of one new model per month. No more than 101 instruments of each model were produced. Gibson´s plan was to have 100 dealers that year, with each one committed to a package of 12 guitars. Those dealers received a custom-made oak and glass humidfied display cabinet at no charge to display each new model.
Models included the 1929 L-2 (Jan. 1994), 1933 Century (Feb. 1994), 1934 Gibson Jumbo (Mar. 1994), 1934 Roy Smeck Radio Grande (April 1994), 1938 Super Jumbo 200 (May 1994), 1939 Super Jumbo 100 (June 1994), 1940 Jumbo 55 (July 1994), 1948 SJ-200N Aug. 1994), 1950 CF-100E (Sept. 1994), 1951 J-185 (Oct. 1994), 1963 Hummingbird (Nov. 1994), and the J-200 Rose (Dec. 1994).
