What separates Golden Era bracing from standard Martin bracing? Back in Martin’s legendary prewar era, heavily scalloped Adirondack spruce was the norm for Martin’s guitars, as it allowed the top to resonate to its fullest potential. However, bracing is also a structural element and a very lightly braced guitar requires a certain degree of care — a level of care that was less common back in the days before every acoustic guitarist could search for proper humidification and maintenance techniques on the internet! Thus, bracing became heavier and heavier over the years. Martin’s Golden Era bracing is a return to the sounds of the past, allowing your every note to resound with captivating overtones and rich, responsive dynamic range.One step above a jumbo Massive in both size and sound, the Grand Jumbo is a mammoth of an acoustic guitar shape that provides superior projection and chest-thumping low-end. It’s long been a favorite of country, folk, and rock strummers for its beautifully balanced sound, which ensures that your low E string hits with the level of punch and power as your high E — a far cry from the usual bass-heavy bias of the mighty dreadnought guitar. Moreover, this guitar’s light build and touch-sensitive European spruce top allow the Custom Shop Grand Jumbo 45 to excel in more intimate fingerpicking applications and even full-on bluegrass flatpicking styles.Finely figured quilt maple back and sides If mahogany and rosewood are the standard-issue tonewoods for the dreadnought guitar, maple matches their ubiquity in the world of the jumbo. Why? Maple’s midrange-forward voice and clear, articulate tone perfectly complement the natural depth of big-body jumbo, ensuring a superb level of balance across all six strings. Moreover, the Custom Shop Grand Jumbo 45’s back and sides consist of no ordinary maple — these tonewoods were handpicked for their dazzlingly three-dimensional deep quilt figuring by Sweetwater’s team of guitar experts at the Martin factory in Nazareth, PA.Martin Custom Shop Grand Jumbo 45 Features: Specs and tonewoods handpicked by Sweetwater’s guitar experts at the Martin factory in Nazareth, PA Certified European spruce top with Golden Era Adirondack spruce bracing sings with superior projection and a touch-sensitive response Gorgeous deep quilt premium maple back and sides deliver big on both visuals and aesthetics, sporting a clear, defined, and exceptionally articulate voice Grand Jumbo body size offers exceptional volume, projection, and tonal balance 2-piece flame maple neck with Madagascar rosewood center strip, carved into a comfortable Modified Low Oval profile Jet-black ebony fingerboard fit with 45-style Snowflake inlays Exquisite adornments throughout, from the body/fingerboard extension’s beautiful inlay work to the Madagascar rosewood binding to the “Torch” headstock inlay High-class gold Waverly tuners SpecificationDetail String Type Steel Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape Grand "J" Jumbo Back & Sides Wood Quilted Maple Top Wood Certified European Spruce Top Finish Gloss Color Natural Body Bracing X Brace Binding Madagascar Rosewood Neck Wood 3-piece Flamed Maple/Madagascar Rosewood Neck Shape Modified Low Oval Radius 16" Fingerboard Material Black Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Style 45 Snowflake Number of Frets 20 Scale Length 25.4" Nut Width 1.75" Nut/Saddle Material Bone/Compensated Bone Bridge Material Black Ebony Tuning Machines Waverly Gold 4060-G W16 Strings Martin Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0, .013-.056 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case Body Length 20.125" Body Width 16" Lower Bout, 11.68" Upper Bout Body Depth 4.875" Lower, 3.93" Upper Overall Length 40.25" RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
