"The SJ is our version of what is commonly called a small Jumbo. Although the 16" 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 mid-range 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 mid-range crunch, often find just what they need in the curvaceous SJ."
