Subject: RE: Tech: mumbo jumbo guitars
I ordered the double cutaway from Mumbo Jumbo in May of 08 and waited patiently until it arrived in Feb of this year. My mother got me my first guitar in 1963 and I have had a few since then which were also given to me. When I came across the Mumbo Jumbo website I showed it to my wife and thought it was time to buy my own guitar. I had many conversations with Simon Shaw before I actually received my guitar and felt very comfortable with my decision. I understand the concept that if something sounds too good to be true it usually is, but when the guitar arrived I was amazed at how beautiful it is. The finish is perfect, there are no rough spots at all. Simon set it up with light gauge strings and medium-low action and it plays like a dream. After I stretched out all the strings it stays in tune and the electronics are very responsive and true. It is definitely worth many times the price. It is made in China and the workmanship is flawless. Kudos to Simon for a wonderful product.
