Augmenting his self-guided journey into guitar-making with tutelage from the legendary Charles Fox at the American School of Lutherie, Joel Stehr is a luthier who crafts beautiful modern guitars in Spokane, WA. This 2020 Small Jumbo will stop you in your tracks both visually and tonally. Joel's SJ is a commanding 16" wide and 4-1/2" deep, but he's rendered it comfortable and easy-playing with bevels under the right arm, on the lap and against the ribs. Sinker redwood and black Brazilian rosewood, both harvested approximately 200 years ago, create a fabulously rich tone on this large-bodied guitar: Deep and complex, with just the right amount of warmth and sweetness in the trebles. A teardrop soundport allows the player to appreciate this guitar even more.
