Mini-Jumbo
|
|
The mini-jumbo is one of John's most popular models.
Starting with the basic jumbo shape, John has reduced the size to make the
instrument more comfortable to hold. Then, he carefully "tweaks"
of the proportions to make the most of both the visual and the acoustic
characteristics of the guitar. Available in non-cutaway and either
Florentine or Venetian cutaway styles, with many wood and trim options, this
is an instrument that the most demanding player would be proud to own.

Flame Maple wedge and binding, and carefully fit black/white/black
purfling.

John's trademark "bird" inlay sits
