Description
Lovely instrument.
This guitar is solid bodied based on the archtop design of a 50s jazz guitar.
The body is flame maple with an ebony bridge, tailpiece, scratchplate and pick-up surround. It is the twelth one made to this design. It has a wide neck with broad frets and an ebony fingerboard.
The playability is just fantastic, as is the sound quality, enhanced by the single Kent/Armstrong humbucker pick-up located at the neck position, which can be split into single coil as well.
I use flatwound 12 gauge strings( which can easily be obtained from Addario in seven string sets) for ease of movement and less fret noise.
My only reason for selling(reluctantly) is because of an injury which impedes my serious playing ability.
I would rather it went to a caring owner who would do it justice than just sitting around as an ornament, much as I like having it.
The original cost was £850.00. I am willing to sell for £700.00.
