A "Slope Shoulder" Dreadnought Designed for Modern Playing
The dreadnought format is a classic reference for its power and projection. The "slope shoulder" variant (rounded shoulders) provides a sense of flexibility and often a "rounder" response in the lower spectrum, while maintaining the expected body of a guitar of this size. On this SLOPE SHOULDER JUMP Dreadnought Celeste, the combination of a solid top and refined hardware clearly aims at an expressive accompaniment guitar, capable of opening up over time.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
This acoustic guitar is well suited for motivated beginners as well as intermediate players looking for a versatile dreadnought. The format is particularly comfortable in folk, pop, acoustic rock, and country, both in strumming (pick rhythm) and fingerpicking. With a nut width of 43 mm, it offers a familiar grip, comfortable for chords and fast transitions.
Sound Characteristics
The solid European spruce top drives the projection: it favors a clear attack, good note separation, and dynamics that follow the nuances of playing. The ovangkol back and sides add body in the midrange and a solid foundation in the bass, with appreciable clarity on open chords. The luthiery is reinforced by a dovetail neck/body joint, known for its efficient vibration transmission, and a compensated bridge that helps maintain consistent intonation across the neck. The pinless bridge simplifies string changes and contributes to a modern look.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes equipped with Adamas 1818NU strings in .012-.053 gauge: to maintain the same feel and tension, favor a 12-53 acoustic string set. A set of picks (flexible to medium for rhythm, stiffer for attack) will also allow exploration of different tonal colors.
