The J or Jumbo model is my largest instrument. Seventeen inches at the lower bout and a body depth of four and three-quarter inches give this model a big sound. The shape, sound, and playability make this model a real statement piece.
Number 076 is a custom-built order which I found very satisfying to build. The customer David and I collaborated on the design elements and he pushed me to try a new finish (the “Agave fade” top) which we both thought turned out very well. Also, the figure on the Koa is spectacular!
