About This Listing
This guitar comes from the personal collection of living legend, Jack Cecchini.
Jack has devoted his life to the study, playing, and teaching of the Classic and Jazz guitar. To be a master of both styles makes him singular; he is one of few who can perform both classical music and jazz. Cecchini is equally at home whether accompanying famous stars, performing with The Chicago Symphony, The Lyric Opera or performing a guitar concerto with The Grant Park Orchestra. Cecchini and his jazz quartet have played numerous concerts on college campuses nationwide. He has performed difficult show scores such as "Jacque Brel" and "Promises, Promises". He has performed solo guitar for former President Gerald Ford and has also done extensive studio work, master classes, and clinics.
This a very rare archtop made by Bill Barker of Barker guitars. It is estimated that only 110-120 Barker guitars were ever produced.
Serial number 1366, this guitar features a German spruce tuned top and an original DeArmond Rhythm Chief 1100 floating pickup. The pickup alone is valued at over $1000.00 today.

Original hardshell case included
