Prairie State Mini Jumbo 6 & 12

An instrument that I still build on occasion. The Mini was originally conceived to make playing easier for disabled folks to be able to play a very short scale instrument that had a large sound and excellent tonal qualities. The scale on this instrument is 22-7/8” making it a breeze to play. It has always been one of my favorite guitars as it is so comfortable, both in the lap and up the fingerboard.
