Heavenly sound

One of the most compelling features of the St. Augustine Jumbo Electro Acoustic is its dark and endearing sapele jumbo body. Sapele offers a beautifully balanced tone that is similar to that of mahogany. With ample room for shimmering overtones and textured harmonies, sapele is suitable for a vast range of playing styles. Its high density also enriches the top frequencies slightly, resulting in a splash of brightness that will make every note shine with glistening clarity. This glistening tone complements the jumbo body which produces supreme, commanding volume. From bellowing lows to crisp, singing highs, this guitar promises a wondrous stage presence and glorious tone.

The solid spruce top is a popular and reliable choice that delivers articulation and volume in abundance. Perfect for a range of playing styles, this dazzling tonewood is wonderfully versatile - strum with passionate ferocity or delve into mellower fingerpicking styles whilst always retaining superb quality of sound. Its sonic capabilities are wonderfully balanced too, so you can be sure that every frequency will shine. Aesthetically, its beauty radiates with a gorgeous vintage finish, promising to captivate anyone.

Built for flawless fretting

A magnificent mahogany neck. Not only does it look exquisite, but it also produces an excellent tone to suit any kind of playing. Mahogany exudes resonance, richness, and wondrous balance thanks to an emphasis on midrange frequencies. But its robust and durable properties are what make it perfect for this scrupulously crafted neck. Engulf your audience in waves of clear, warm sound whilst mahogany's long-lasting stability ensures you can relish such a tone for years to come. And if that isn't enough, mahogany's sonic capabilities grow more focused as the wood matures, meaning you'll have endless glistening sound. A set neck construction then provides even more resonance as well as shimmering sustain, resulting in a magnificently full sound with captivating harmonies and textures.

Attached onto a study mahogany neck is a ravishing rosewood fretboard. Both the satin finish of the guitar and the fretboard's luscious smoothness make for easy and seamless playing, so you can be sure that every single note will flow flawlessly. Rosewood delivers a tone that is balanced in brightness and resonance and is full of gleaming clarity. Crucially though, it has an even response across the whole frequency range, meaning that whatever your style, you will be granted an excellent tone from start to finish.
