Solid wood top will only get better with age
An acoustic stringed instrument's top plays a huge role in its overall tone, and that's why we're pleased to see the Jumbo Junior Bass is topped with a real piece of solid Sitka spruce. While the Guild Jumbo Junior Bass sounds great straight from Guild, you'll notice more harmonic complexity and sonic range after playing for a number of years.
AP-1 electronics for plugged-in acoustic performance
Thanks to the built-in Guild AP-1 active acoustic piezo pickup system, you can also perform or record with your Jumbo Junior Bass. The AP-1's sensitive piezo pickup will transfer every nuance of the bone saddle's vibrations into precise voltages that are sent intact from the 1/4" output jack to your PA or audio interface. This makes the Jumbo Junior Bass as versatile as it is sonically pleasing.
