Spruce/Blue Myrtle Jumbo Cutaway
Model J-247-ED-CA
The Jumbo (J) model is impressive just by its size. The shape of the body is full and round in the lower bout, increasing the top area significantly over the other models. The tight waist provides for that 'lead' definition required for a good fingerpicking guitar, but this model shines as a strummer also. Its volume and dynamic range are very impressive, and the bass response is unmatched for 'walking bass' pickers. I was very happy with the final result of this build - a nice blend of shape and figure. The look is similar to the 'Lisa' guitar seen in the D-254-ED gallery.
