  • Description: A stunning 2008 SJ42 with Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and an Adirondack Spruce top with a special varnish finish. The AAA Brazilian used in this guitar came from the private reserve of Dexter Johnson from Carmel Music in California. The Adirondack top has fine tight grain.

    The SJ is our version of what is commonly called a small Jumbo. Although the 16 inch 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. Players looking for the bass and overall volume of a large guitar, but with lots of treble clarity and midrange crunch, often find just what they need in the curvaceous SJ.
