Default New Gerber SJ Cocobolo / Redwood
I just finished a new Small Jumbo for a customer in Columbus Ohio, and I thought I would post a few pics of it here on the forum. Can I pleaaaaase keep this one? I've been playing it for a few days and can't put it down.

If it sounds as good as it looks it's now wonder you don't want to let it go! The finish is top class. Well done.

The dimensions are:

Lower bout 15 1/8"
upper bout 11 1/4"
waist 9 1/2"
body length 19 3/8"
depth at neck heel 3 7/8"
depth at end block 4 3/4"
scale 25.5"

So....It has similar dimensions across the width of the guitar, and length, but my SJ is considerably deeper. I took inspiration from Olsons SJ for this model.

Ooh, that's nice. I'm drawn to the design in your peghead. Is that your standard logo? Can you shed some lite on that?

Thanks for the kind words. Yes that's my standard logo now. It's an abstract image of a waterfall. So I call it the waterfall logo. I really wanted to try and to connect the guitar to imagery of nature, but without being too direct. The label that I have designed uses the top contour of the headstock as the mountains, with sun rays coming over them, and the waterfall in front.
