The Story

Used Steve Miller Collection Grand J12-40E Special Acoustic Guitar Natural

When your professional career in Rock and Roll spans over forty years, you can imagine that one might accumulate a lot of guitars. When it comes to music legend Steve Miller, we mean a lot of guitars. From instruments that Steve had bought on the road, to those that were gifted from other Rock stars, to guitars that were made for charity or other special commemorations – Steve Miller and The Music Zoo are proud to present to you the Steve Miller Collection.

We’ve teamed up with Steve to “thin the herd” as we like to say, and give you the opportunity to own some very special guitars that have lots of vibe and history to them. Steve is a player as much as he is a collector, and you can be sure that these guitars are the cream of the crop when it comes to their playability. Some of these guitars have been touring guitars played by Steve, or made for him by specific builders to his specifications. Every one of these guitars includes a certificate of authenticity signed by Steve Miller.

This big bodied Martin is a Jumbo-size 12-string with a 14th fret neck joint, built with a solid sitka spruce top with solid east Indian rosewood back and sides, an easy playing modified low oval neck shape, ebony belly bridge, and gold tuners. The guitar has a big and bold tone with lush 12-string overtones, and is in excellent condition with no major wear to be seen on it.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case, Steve Miller Collection Certificate of Authenticity
