I’m happy to say I’ve found the “one” in terms of tone, playability and just general love for the wood and aesthetic..I have a second specifically for gigging that is great too (Larrivee) but its Just to preserve the Beneteau and avoid humidity changes at gigs. (Coastal Virginia is a nightmare in summertime).

The SJ has perfect responsiveness and clarity for my playing. The problem is, if I develop shoulder or back problems down the line it may be a challenge to play, as it is a jumbo. Luckily that shouldn’t be for awhile.

It’s funny, I write this but I have another on order with Marc. I’ve played some in the $12-30 range and while they are truly wonderful and absurdly responsive I just love his tone and clarity no matter what woods are used. very versatile. I’ll probably order another after this one due in February, maybe an OM so I know if I do get those Nasty shoulder issues later I will at least have one that isn’t so big.
