The Advanced Jumbo, J-45 and the iconic early
60's Epiphone Texan were the coolest accessories
that an aspiring cowboy singer could shoot for.
Each one of these guitars was a favorite of
several of SCGC's veteran luthiers. As it is our
style to interpret rather than copy, the Vintage
Jumbo Model combines the essence of coolness
possessed by its forbearers with built-in
improvements from SCGC's decades of lutherie.
The VJ's Sitka Spruce top is braced and voiced
for volume and the body is built with premium
Mahogany for clarity of tone. The balance favors
the bass to the degree found in the originals,
not to the excess found in many from the golden
era of the square-shouldered brand. What this
really pretty face has over its predecessors is
SCGC's hallmark complexity of overtones, sustain
and power. Look your best. Wear this guitar!
The Vintage Jumbo is the ideal Blues guitar.
Inspired by the classic round-shouldered
dreadnoughts of the 1940's, we infused it with
the characteristic Santa Cruz volume, balance
and complexity to create a guitar that can cover
a lot of different styles. The VJ is dripping
with the kind of deep, rich bass and sweet
trebles that really shine in chord-oriented
work. You won't find this one coming up short
when you call on it for more!
