The best and nearly the last from my life long collection of stringed instruments--just can't play anymore and the instruments belong in more competent and appreciative hands. This one is a rare 2014 CB Super jumbo six string guitar custom built by master builder Chris Bozung (1956-2024 RIP). The Super is the largest and most powerful custom acoustic guitar model built by CB Guitars. Modeled after the original pre-War Super Jumbo guitars which featured a 16-7/8" body with Spruce top and Brazilian Rosewood back & sides, Chris' version features a slightly smaller 16-1/2" body to focus the tone and eliminate unwanted bass overtones, while maintaining the full depth of a Dreadnought for power and fullness of tone. The CB Super is constructed with design modifications to Chris' hand-scalloped "X-Brace" to maximize the strength and tone capability of the larger & more rounded top. This instrument was made for me in 2014 and features spruce top and cocobolo back and sides. The peghead inlay is the Ichthys symbol and the custom fingerboard inlays are mother of pearl.
As a tribute to the original pre-War Super Jumbo guitars, the CB Super features design touches such as double-bound soundhole, pointed-end fingerboard, and Chris' own unique "Moustache" bridge. Although we never met face to face, I donsidered him a friend and appreciated his communication during the building process. Whether he was building a custom guitar for Vice Gill or for me, a nobody, his craftsmanship and professionalism remained constant. I was saddened to learn of his passing in 2024.
This guitar, which is virtually unplayed has some finishing checking on the nitrocelluouse finish which is to be expected on a guitar of this age. It is otherwise in mint condition.
Here are three videos demonstraing the huge clear sound from this instrument:
