UPC 846940000263

The virtuosic playing of Frank Vignola demands an instrument that can keep up. It’s an honor and a privilege to partner with Thorell Guitars to produce such a guitar. Frank’s signature Eastman is equally at home in a jazz club or at a bluegrass festival.

Crossing Boundries
The first archtops were made to accompany orchestras and provide a chunking rhythm that was felt more than heard. By those standards what our hollow bodies do today is quite different. Our vision for the archtop is to maintain traditional build methods while providing a new sound and image that appeals to players of multiple musical disciplines.

Our handcrafted guitars pay tribute to traditional build methods and body styles while delivering a balanced and refined tone.

All of our instruments are built in workshops in Beijing by an expert team of luthiers and craftsmen.
