Purpose-built for players who need stadium-filling projection with studio-grade clarity, the Challenger Jumbo-42 Maple Deluxe combines a tonewood recipe favored by recording engineers with the comfort and reliability modern performers expect. A full jumbo body cut from figured maple back and sides with a select spruce top yields a bright, glassy voice that stays articulate even under hard strumming. Maple’s quick attack and tight low end help every chord separate cleanly in a mix, while the long 25.5" scale adds snap and definition for both fingerstyle patterns and big open chords.
