2005 Applegate SJ - Small Jumbo Acoustic Guitar
Our customers are thoroughly enjoying the guitars of Brian Applegate. This time he's sent us a real gem crafted from dramatic Ziricote with a sapwood stripe in the center of the back. He's paired that with an Italian spruce to and together they offer clarity and sparkle with plenty of headroom.

Player Reviews:
"This is another beautifully crafted guitar from Brian but with several unique features. There are snowflake markers and inlaid headstock with a wooden border, a tortis guard and a natural backstrip created by the sapwood in the Ziricote set. The tone of this wood combination is also unique and gives this guitar a bit more sparkle them usually found in an Applegate. It's very reminiscent of several of the Olsons we've had recently. The SJ body shape allows for good bottom end action as well making this a well-rounded guitar. It's perfectly suited for fingerstyle or strumming and mixes up very nicely when strummed. Another winner from Brian..." - Paul Heumiller
