Memphis, sunburst, flamed maple |
MemphisOne of the most progressive designs of the pioneer era of the steel string guitars is the Super Jumbo of the late ‘30s. The moustache bridge with its characteristic cut-outs and the hand engraved pick guard are perfect matches to the flashy appearance of this instrument, which is ideally complemented by its majestic sound character. The body has a width of 17 inches, which is large, but still very manageable. The full sound of the Memphis model tends to a strong cutting power featuring rosewood back and sides or to harmonic warmth with prominent mids and trebles while maple used as a body wood.
