This first-year Stage Deluxe is essentially a 12-fret version of the contemporary Jumbo, the primary difference being the shorter neck with a very wide fingerboard. Like most, it has been converted for regular Spanish play and is in exceptionally fine guitar for either style. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe $50 Stage Deluxe was slightly less fancy than the $60 jumbo, with silkscreen logo and plastic-button strip tuners, but shares the 16\" wide single-bound mahogany body with a lush dark sunburst top. Gibson built no other 12-fret slope-shoulder jumbo guitars besides the Smeck models; this unusual combination of features has long been prized for its deep powerful sound. A favorite of discerning players including Norman Blake and especially Jackson Browne.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 39 1\/2 in. (100.3 cm.), 16 in.
