Kim Walker Jumbo
Got this guitar yesterday...
Kim Walker Jumbo in Excel trim German spruce top Maple back and sides... Light as a feather and very responsive. Has the expected clarity from maple. Warm and big trebles... Wonderful guitar.... Just wish it were a smaller guitar The Jumbo w/ my SJ (Bearclaw Sitka/African Blackwood) |

Gorgeous guitars Dave.....
If the jumbo is a tad too big for you, I would be more than willing to take it out of your hands Those are extremely interesting looking tuners! What are they may I ask? |

Is that a 17" jumbo? According to his site he's not building them any more. How's the low end on it? I did the ceremonial first restringing of my SJ this week and got to play it in a big room. The low-end whomp was extremely satisfying!
Congratulations on your beautiful guitar. Kim's a wizard with maple!

BTW, I prefer the size and aesthetics of your Walker SJ haha... The burst and size is just prefect... Was aiming for a L-00 w/ maple b/s but someone beat me to it |

A gorgeous guitar! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I think that's the only 17 jumbo flattop Kim made. Very cool.

Whew, what a nice pair! I thought because I'm getting older that I should be buying smaller guitars but I recently couldn't pass up a Gibson J-185N-TV and now that I've entered the jumbo world (thought my J-50 put me there but I was wrong) I get it. Jumbo guitars just have a whole other thing going on...and I like it. Your Walkers are just gorgeous.
