Extremely well preserved guitar, very resonant body with the typical laminated jazz box tone that you would expect from a 17" guitar.
Used only in big band and duo gigs, minor signs of wear due to normal use.
The Jazz City has a laminate spruce top, laminate maple back and sides, and a maple neck. It features a rosewood fingerboard, a rosewood cello style tailpiece, and a gorgeous honeyburst finish. Hardware includes a set of Grover Imperial tuners and a built-in humbucker. The overall style of the instrument is reminiscent of the more ornate designs of the legendary John D'Angelico and his protege Jimmy D'Aquisto. Embellishments include stunning block fingerboard inlays of mother of pearl and abalone, D'Aquisto style headtsock logo, and beautiful abalone body binding.
VERSATILE YET PRACTICAL, THE JAZZ CITY IS PERFECT FOR THE WORKING MUSICIAN
The Jazz City is designed to produce a warm, fat jazz tone at high volumes. The laminate body is exceptionally feedback resistant and the built-in humbucker sounds woody and clear. The 17" body sits effortlessly in your lap while the 1 11/16th nut makes even the most cumbersome chord shapes feel effortless. This guitar comes setup with D'Addario 12 gauge flatwounds and fairly low, 2mm action. However, this instrument performs well with many types of setups, including traditional bebop (14 gauge flatwounds and very low action) and swing (higher action) setups.
Whether it's blazing bebop lines, fingerstyle ballads, or searing blues leads, this instrument can do it all! Come and experience the easy playability and tonal beauty of this highly versatile model yourself...
