This is a truly great sounding Jazz Guitar. You can hit that Pizzarelli sound with the 7 strings. I compared it to some Heritage and gibson super 400 models. This truly shines. A great bebop guitar. It sounds really great and loud umplugged too!!

This guitar appears to be completely flawless it was set up very well. And is a joy to play and hear.

Because this guitar is carved it tends to feedback easily but with the proper settings and good control it can be played quite loud live. It seems really solid and very well made. I feel I could depend on this guitar.

I have been playing for about 7 years. I play jazz, rockabilly, blues and I lead worship at a church. I have several other guitars but this is my only jazz guitar. I have a gretsch white falcon, fender strat and tele a santa cruz baritone, and a rain song JM-1000 acoustic guitar. I am looking to sell this guitar. If anyone is interested please email me.
