Jesselli Herringbone Solid Body

One day only sales. Going back up afterwards. Not in a hurry to sell this beautiful piece. 

I have included some recent photos of this Jesselli. It is in pristine condition. It has always been cased or left in a climate control room when recorded. It is a spectacular instrument.


Another immaculate piece by famed NY Luthier Joseph Jesselli. This is the first Solid Body of 2020. Joe doesn’t build many solid body instruments, so it’s a particularly rare pleasure to offer our customers this gem.


The guitar features many appointments unique to Joe Jesselli's guitars; such as stepped binding, leather pickup covers, silicon bronze frets and an angled ivory nut with zero fret (aka fret-nut).

Everything on this guitar has been hand fabricated by Joseph Jesselli in his Long Island NY workshop. The only exception being the tuners, which have been custom plated gold by Joe and the pickups which are origina Jesselli designs and are hand-wound to Joe’s specs by Pete Biltoff of Vintage Vibe Guitars. The pickup covers are handmade by Joe Jesselli. You can read about the specs in detail below, as well as see our demo video featuring Harvey Valdes.
