How do jumbo guitars differ from standard acoustic guitars?

The jumbo guitar shape was developed by the Gibson guitar company at the end of the 1930s and, thanks to its broad tonal spectrum with a powerful bass and bright treble response, has continued to enjoy immense popularity to this day. Jumbo guitars are particularly well-suited to strumming and are very popular among singer/songwriters. These guitars are available both with and without a cutaway (an indentation in the upper bout of the body that allows improved access to the upper frets), with integrated pickup systems, and in guitar sets that include important accessories. Some players may of course find a jumbo guitar too large to handle comfortably, and a so-called mini jumbo model might be the correct choice here. These models combine the typical shape of a "full-size" jumbo guitar with a smaller overall body size and are considered good all-round guitars for a range of different styles and playing techniques.
