Ark New Era (Tony Klassen) will gladly build you Prairie State Jumbo in any size you want. Might require 3 or 4 piece top and back though.

Technically speaking the SJ -200 is considered a SUPER JUMBO along with most of the guitars mentioned in this thread. And yes, I consider the Gibson SJ-200 the quintessential SUPER JUMBO.
As far as the JUMBO goes, I consider the Gibson J-35/J-45 and Gibson Advanced Jumbo the quintessential Jumbos. Just saying😎

Guild F-50, which was first manufactured in 1954.
Gibson made a SJ-200 (Super Jumbo) starting in 1937, but they didn't change the name to S-200 until 1955. Quintessential? Gotta give this one to Guild.

I think the most quintessential would be the Lowden O or the Collings I just played last week (sorry, a friend purchased it and I don't remember the model).
But I wouldn't call them typical jumbos as they are both way more balanced across the musical spectrum, and that's not necessarily what some players are looking for in a jumbo.

OP asked about a jumbo, not a specific name. It's just that the original Jumbo was called a "Jumbo". Many posters have correctly listed other 'J' guitars as Jumboes, not just J-200s. Jumbo has guitar meanings as a shape, a size, and a model. Serendipitously, the J-200 means all three. What a shock. Don .

In actuality, that particular Gibson J-200 model (only 90 were made and only in 1985) was not produced with any electronics. A pick-up must have been added afterword to theirs. I have the same model and can attest to how good it does sound all by itself with maybe a little help from it's player. It was made by Gibson with a Sitka Spruce top, with Rosewood Back and Sides, with a special Headstock and inlays, and without any Pick-ups. 90 J-45s were also made that year by Gibson with the same woods, inlays, and headstock design as that J-200.

Guild made the first guitar specifically designated as a "jumbo." Gibson had already been marketing a "Super Jumbo" for a couple decades, but a year after Guild came out with its jumbo, Gibson redesignated theirs as the same size.
