Bronson Deluxe Jumbo 1936

Oahu and Bronson are closely related, started by half brothers, who later, in the early 30ies, split up into the two companies. Their guitars were Chicago made, by Regal, Stromberg-Voisionet or the Kay Custom Shop (in which the top end guitars were made by old world immigrants who had made guitars in Europe). Both of the Jumbos have the same size , body-width , body-depth, nut-width, even string-spacing and scale-length, the original 12fret round-neck, as well as the same peghead-size and shape. The construction and dimensions explain why these guitars are often referred to as  'Nick Lucas' versions, since it shares that guitar's dimensions. These x-braced models are consistantly excellent guitars and were not "bargain basement" instruments by any means. They feature an L-00 size top, but a body as deep as a dreadnaught and a long 25.75" scale length.

This Bronson Deluxe Jumbo sports rosewood back and sides , spruce top, washburn-style ebony bridge, mahagony-neck with a white-bound ebony fretboard, multiple white/black celluloid-bindings around the top and back, multiple white and black soundhole-rosette and floral ornamented rectangular mop-inlays at the 3rd, 5th , 7th ,12th and 15th fret. Symetric Floral Abalone pearl-inlays and an oval-inlay with the G.E.Bronson logo in the center, on the peghead.
