Frequently Asked Questions
The flamed maple back and sides add a noticeable brightness and clarity compared to a standard Spruce SJ-200, focusing the bass response and adding more sustain.
The neck profile is a vintage '50s rounded shape, which is generally comfortable, but the jumbo size and wider nut width (1.73") might feel bulky for those with smaller hands.
The inlays are designed to be a faithful representation of the custom fingerboard details Johnny Cash favored, offering a distinct aesthetic touch.
