JB-16 (14 fret)
a Jatoba/Italian
spruce
full asymmetric on the Jumbo paradigm.
I have made 2 of this model for the same enlightened customer,
and really liked them both.
This is the first to be offered for sale. Jatoba is one of the worlds
great timbers, though rarely encountered outside the flooring indusrty
where it is known as Brazilian Cherry. But it is far harder than any
true cherry, or any true Rosewood for that matter, and I think it is
the toughest wood I've ever used for guitars!
If you are looking for the big sound, I'd put this up against anything
at any price; you should try it.
