Point of order:
when I think Jumbo I don't think OM nor 000. Some call them small bodies. I call them medium. - Stevo |

The answer is the Gibson J-200, but I prefer the Eastman AC630:
That flame maple is just SOOO beautiful.

Aside from my FJ70, Guilds come to mind when I think of quintessential Jumbo’s

I had to do a search to refresh my memory on the Olson SJ. At a hair over 15 inches wide, it is pretty much an OM. The Olson Jumbo is definitely a jumbo, though. And a gorgeous one at that!
Another vote for the J-200 being the quintessential jumbo, in before this thread turns into a debate on the word jumbo ambiguously meaning both a large curvy guitar, and Gibson's take on the round shouldered dreadnought.

When I think Jumbo, the first thing that comes to my mind is Gibson J-200. Of course there are many other great jumbo styles (Guild, Lowden, Taylor, Martin), but I think the J-200 is the mother of all.

First that comes to mind is the J200, followed by Guilds.

Of course I think Gibson and Guild but Larson made those Prairie State super jumbos that take the prize as the largest.
http://www.sprucetreemusic.com/wp-co...iriest1373.jpg Scott Chinery had a Larson Prairie State that was reportedly 22" across the lower bout. Oh and Guild also made that F612 that John Denver played.

I've owned an F50, never a J200, but agree with this. It's the iconic jumbo.
