Why the Jubilee?
Most of the Jubilee is built around the clawhammer stroke. The S-curve scoop at the end of the fingerboard gives your striking hand room to work. The 11 inch cherry tone rim with an ebonite cap and a Remo Renaissance high collar head gives the full, warm voice clawhammer players look for, and the Sweetone tailpiece keeps the strings clear and balanced.
