Launch of the new model - SAJ200

Hi to everyone from Shoma Acoustics!
I'm pleased to announce my new model SAJ200. As you can recognise from the picture, this model is a Jumbo type guitar. The top and back bracings as well as the body shape and size are based on the Gibson J200 guitar specs. The dovetail neck joint is the standard type that I use on all of my guitars. This is also the first guitar that features the 'Dragonfly' that will be incorporated as part of my logo on all of my future guitars. 
Just as all the other models, the top, sides and back can be customised as per costumer's request but the default choice is: 

Top: Sitka spruce
Back and sides: Honduran Rosewood
Neck: Brazilian Mahogany
Bridge and Fingerboard: Rosewood
Tuners: Gotoh
Pickup: L.R. Baggs 'ELEMENT Active System'

This particular guitar features a paua shell purfling & rosette and the large Mother of Pearl markers.


Here are some of the specifications:

Scale: ...............................................25.34"
Lover bout: ......................................17.0"
Upper bout: .....................................12.4"
Body length: ....................................21.06"
Total Frets: .......................................20
Neck (No. of frets to the body) : ......14
