Player Reviews:
"It's exciting to see a builder who keeps pushing his craft. This J is amazing for low tunings and offers the player true low end with equal clarity and separation. A bold, new voice...."" - Paul Heumiller
"Nice rich bass tones and clear mids and trebles. This one sounds great fingerpicked or strummed. I like it.
" - Al Petteway
