Jackson Guldan Musical Co was based in Columbus, Ohio - made a whole lot of violins and some very well constructed parlor sized guitars that had a unique neck setup. The neck angle can be adjusted anytime by turning an inset screw at the neckjoint. With that adjustable neck, a 24" scale and trapeze tailpiece it makes it easy to use a variety of different strings and tunings. This one has a wider neck - 1 13/16" nut and can be played or set up as a classical guitar, but here I decided to go with the gypsy jazz vibe and used light gauge silk and steel strings.

I've put on new ping tuners, an adjustable bridge, and leveled and polished the frets. The action is very low now. The string height at the 12th fret is set at 3/32" bass side - 1/16" treble side, and it plays well there up and down the fingerboard.

The acoustic quality is simply outstanding. It's a lot brighter than a spruce dreadnought but push it hard on rhythm and it can hang with any big guitar for volume - and the sustain just goes on and on at the end of a note.

Ships in a new padded gig bag.
