Pickup. The scale length is 24.5" and the nut width is 1.75".
Golden Maple Body and maple neck. Carved ebony inlaid finger board. Solid ebony carved finger board and ebony tail piece. The fingerboard is very precise and inlaid with mother of pearl.
Built in 1994 serial no. 0294. This guitar was built for me as a gift from Gary who was a personal friend. He built it in the very traditional arch top jazz style
This guitar sounds warm and mellow even when played without an amp. I can send you a file with the guitar plugged in through my amplifier or unamplified. Even with it being played with no amplifier, it has a sweet sound.
Gary
built this guitar for me in 1994 it is a custom hand made guitar by Guitar
maker from Miam. Gary Mortoro was a student of Bob Benedetto. He has made
guitars for the following great guitarists: Gene Bertonucci, Tony Mottola, Bucky Pizzarelli, Jimmy Vivino, Rodney
Jones, George Benson and Jimmy
Buffet. (I actually played a few chords on it right before he shipped it to
Jimmy). Rodney Jones said,
"There is no finer Archtop available, simply put Gary's guitars are the D'Angelicos of the
future".
My guitar has a very pronounced acoustic value, when played
either in electric or acoustic modes.
This guitar is in pristine condition no scratches, belt rashes, it does not
have any dings. I’ve kept the guitar in it’s case, with no play wear. Comes
with a hard case. There have never
been any repairs there are no cracks , no checking or chips on this guitar.
This is in excellent condition virtually in the same condition as when I
received it from him.
The video sample is not me, but someone else playing a very similar Mortoro guitar.
