Here you go Doug



It is recorded on my Samsung S7 Edge so the sound quality isn't the best but hopefully it gives you an idea of how it sounds.

I was, truth be told, not expecting much from this given that large bodied guitars tend to sound boomy/bassy/muddy etc. Boy was I wrong! The J-R is about as balanced an instrument I've played - the deep rumbling bass does not overwhelm the chimey trebles and the signature Michaud note separation/clarity is ever so present. Compared to my Lucky Tree, it is louder and more responsive likely due to the body size and top (not to mention a ridiculous amount of sustain). It also has more overtone content while also being more dry sounding (if that makes any sense). The Lucky Tree in comparison has more immediacy and a sweeter tone. This is definitely one of the best guitars I've had the privilege to play and I believe my upcoming OM-R will share very similar qualities to it so I am very excited!

I would say that Joel definitely nailed what he was going for - a small bodied sound scaled up in a big bodied guitar
