The Jumbo is the original Doolin double-cutaway design. Traditional hand-voiced X-bracing gives it the big, open sound we all associate with the traditional Jumbo style. This is a great instrument for pick-style; my clients who play Celtic music especially appreciate it's voice for playing rhythm in DADGAD tuning. Fingerpickers will also enjoy the easy response and wide dynamic range of this big bo dy
My steel string bridges feature a pinless design which allows unparalleled ease in changing strings. The ball ends of the strings slide over steel rods to sit flush below the bridge surface. No plastic pins to pry out, wear out, and break. The pinless bridge was invented by luth ier
The bridges also feature an extra-wide angled saddle for correct string compensation. I file a little ramp in the saddle for each string which peaks at the exact compensated string length. This creates perfect intonation on all strings, from the nut to the 22nd fret
