The J was patterned after the famous Gibson J-185. A 16 inch wide body with a 4.25 inch depth makes this guitar ideal for finger picking. It is not a good lead flat-picking guitar and I do not recommend it as such. The sound is very balanced, almost like a steel string classical guitar. A superior recording instrument for its even tone and balance. The model shown here is of a Presentation grade instrument with all of the bells and whistles. Fancy inlays, custom bridge, pick-guard, abalone trim and the best Brazilian anywhere.  Best woods are flamed maple or a lighter weight rosewood.  Available with either the 24.875" or 25.4" scale.
