The JB is short scale, wider nut and hide glue

 

 

I thought all 12 frets were short scale? also with a 12 fretter.. a wider neck is common. hide glue or standard glue.. does it matter? Not really.. a Radio Grande 12 fret from 1994 or a Jackson Browne from the newer era.. same guitar, same foundation..

Not the one JC linked to. Long scale and narrower nut as the standard AJ.

...Also, and maybe most importantly to reduce GAS attacks, the walnut JB has the deep body. It's rosewood-bodied sibling, the Stage Deluxe Rosewood, also deep-bodied, can get the voice of the 'rose, with the clarity/punch of the short scale, and nice clear resonant bass notes. Similarities with the Stage Deluxe Rosewood 12 fret end, however, when looking at the neck profile; full, user-friendly v on the Stage D, but a thin profile on the JB, which can be a strange combo when paired with the 1.805" nut width that they both share. It would be interesting to compare the AJ 12 fret with the Stage Deluxe Rosewood; to see which develops the better bass: the longer scale AJ, or the deep-bodied Stage Deluxe.

 

To paraphrase David St. Hubens of Spinal Tap; "Here lies the Gibson Advanced Jumbo 12 fret, and- why not?" Kudos to Wildwood and/or Gibson for bringing this model out, what with the current interest in 12 fret guitars.

 

 

Thanks for bringing our attention to this guitar, Juan Carlos.
