Here's their jumbo selection https://www.acousticcentre.com.au/collections/jumbo They sold my Martin JDP II. Grand J12-40ES and Huss & Dalton MJ Custom on consignment last year and I bought my Epiphone IBG Hummingbird from them.

I dislike the narrow saddle string spacing of the typical contemporary Martin (2 5/32) which is narrower than most other makers, the J-41 solves that. To give you an indication of both my love for the j-40 tone and playability of the OM neck specs, as well as my general frivolity: I have sent my J-40 back to Martin for a similarly spec. custom neck replacement. |

Thank you all for the info and for sharing your beauties!
I’ve got the entire picture of her now, she was more or less what I was expecting. The aging toner used was completely unknown to me! Last edited by Dropq; 01-27-2022 at 09:46 AM. |

Interesting note, again I hadn’t the slightest. I’m well versed in electric guitars, but not so much in acoustics yet. This forum has already inspired me to dig in!
I’ve always had trouble picking out the “better sounding” acoustics out in the wild. The only one that spoke to me was a 70s Morris W-80s special. Then of course came my 1982 Guild D-55NT, but these are obviously older instruments. |

From an old post above, I think one will find the Martin 0000/J somewhat similar to the Taylor GA/800 series in size. Don't have the upper bout measurements handy, maybe someone else does. Last edited by TennesseeWalker; 05-24-2022 at 07:09 AM. |
