I think I have a new favorite acoustic! Here's how it happened. Firstly, the sound - as soon as this instrument arrived new through our doors it was crisp, articulate, and loud. The sound is distinctly high fidelity, and there's a spectrum of noise from crystal clear highs to bold lows that aren't muddy in any way. It does what only the best acoustics can do, and I can hear every note in every chord - I'd say this is owed to the Adirondack top and the Ebony fingerboard, and the Rosewood back & sides. Secondly, there are the looks. This piece reminds me particularly of a vintage car, especially when looking at the inlays on the fingerboard and headstock. Smooth, luxurious and a peacock of a guitar if there ever was one.

I'm extremely picky about my acoustics. Don't wait on this one! It's incredible.

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.
