The JB is our interpretation of an OM style guitar with a modern original design. This extremely versatile guitar features the clarity and balance you’d expect in a smaller bodied instrument. Due to its proportions though, the JB has the ability to produce tone with exceptional vigor and volume. The slender depth and narrow waist married with a 16 inch lower bout provides fundamental low-end response, a clean mid-range, and rotund treble.
The JB is named after Production Manager Jason Brown and it’s a fitting match. Multifaceted, dependable and always warm and responsive, the JB is as accommodating as the person behind the name.
