Andreas Schulz – Akustik Gitarre
The big wave jumbo is a super jumbo model. This model was created at the request of a customer to build a baritone guitar with a large body.
The result is a guitar with a voluminous sound, with very present bass and very rounded highs and mids.
The first model was a real success. A powerful guitar, a rich sound across the entire spectrum, very versatile and pleasant to play despite its imposing size. That’s why I decided to build it with a standard scale length. To ensure a balanced sound, I wanted to keep the bridge in the same place and therefore have the neck-body connection at the 13th fret instead of the 14th fret. The cutaway is offered as standard to facilitate access to the heights and increase playing comfort.
“The voluminous body gives the instrument a pleasantly open, slightly floating sound that also illuminates the edges of the frequency spectrum well. The mids are well represented, but laid out completely differently than you would expect from focused-sounding guitars in smaller designs. It sounds softer, friendlier and a little less direct. You can celebrate wonderful chord carpets on the big wave.” – Andreas Schulz – acoustic guitar
