The SJ is our version of what is commonly called a Small Jumbo. Although the 16-inch lower bout is slightly wider than a dreadnought, and the sides almost as deep, the tight curve at the waist creates in a very different sound chamber. SJs, especially examples in maple, typically have a more pronounced midrange response when compared to a dreadnought, making them ideal candidates for a rounded cutaway. Players looking for the bass and overall volume of a large guitar, but with lots of treble clarity and midrange crunch, often find just what they need in the curvaceous SJ.
Our SJ features Eastern maple back and sides with ivoroid body, fingerboard, and peghead binding, a maple mosaic backstrip, and modern diamond fingerboard and peghead inlays.
