Holst Jazz Hand built archtop electric guitar tobacco burst

This guitar was handbuilt by a great luthier, Stephen Holst.   Great gigging jazz guitar to make it sound really cool with that great jazz thump and swing. This laminate top is handbuilt by Holst, it's not a commercially made top, which is very feedback resistant.   The top and back are are bound with solid maple rims. The fingerboard, truss rod cover and pickguard are all in Macassar ebony. The tailpiece is West African ebony.Comes with a TKL hardshell case. The neck is more of a vintage Gibson neck, more on the fuller side. It's well setup, neck straight and the action is super jazz-low. It's a joy to play. It also has a great acoustic sound, even though it's built to be electric.    The specs:

Scale: 25"
Lower Bout: 16"
