New Orleans Guitar Company Jazz Electric Archtop Guitar J16 2000's - Natural

"True arch top sound at any volume, made for live performance. The JB16 ex hibits the characteristic soft attack of the arch top while keeping the feedback resistance and durability of an electric.Great versatility for all music venues" 

Born out of a long standing love affair with vintage era, hollow-body electrics for their complex dynamics and lively response, the JB16 is one of those guitars that is just hard to put aside. Built with traditional arched top construction and a 25” scale (with a more modern approach to design), the five-piece neck joins the body at the 15th fret and locates the low profile bridge in the center of the working top plate, making for easy to reach, lush voicing.   New current retail $7500. This one is aavilable in almost new condition for $4250.
