This type combines the round shape and general characteristics of the jumbo with a size that is more manageable and requires less physical energy to play. The mini-jumbo is possibly the most versatile type of acoustic guitar, with a sound than is still deep and full, yet a little more intimate than the big jumbos and dreadnoughts. This style is favoured by folk pickers and strummers, and also across a broad range of styles from acoustic jazz to more experimental areas. It is the most common shape for electro-acoustic guitars.
