Maple Jumbo
Who else makes a maple small jumbo like the Gibson J-185 or the Collings SJ?

I don’t know if they’re still making it, but I had a Guild GAD small jumbo in maple that I really liked.

I owned a maple Huss & Dalton MJ Custom - very similar specifications with the Collings SJ.
Lightly built and super responsive but I found a 1 3/4" nut just a tad too wide for me.

J165 is much smaller than a Jumbo. Like a OO.

Taylor made what they called the 'GS maple' through the early 2000's. As the name implies, is the Grand Symphony body shape, maple B/S with a spruce top. A beautiful and great sounding guitar (I own a 2006 with a lovely 3 piece back).

Takamine has the GJ72CE. Spruce top, Maple back and sides. In 6 and 12 string versions.
They are not small. But if they were small they wouldn't be a jumbo.

The biggest Taylor is the Grand Orchestra with 16 3/4" lower bout and 5" body depth.

I believe Kevin Kopp builds a J-185 style small jumbo.

The used market is a good place to look for Westerly built Guild maple archback jumbos. I just picked up a GF30. They have around a 16” lower bout. Pretty rare though, less than 1000 made. The JF30 on the other hand are more common. 17” lower bout. People seem to really like them.

Not sure of the exact dimensions, but I would definitely include the 618 in the Jumbo category. If only Taylor offered a stock version without the electronics.

Taylor’s 600 series is typically maple.
