Jazz archtop

Solid wood jazz guitar.

Probably a guitar by Hüttl, a valuable German luthier, form the Fifties.

Thick solid spruce top, with bracing; solid maple sides and back. Case size almost 17" (16.45"), sides 8 cm. Neck in 3 parts, absolutely straight, wood unknown to me. It doesn't rest on the top. Rosewood fingerboard, excellent brown and dense wood, and so is the bridge. Probably refretted, frets and inlays are almost new.

Very good action now set it to 1.50/1.75, plays comfortably.

Has various signs of time, clearly, but not too noticeable thanks to the color. Thick, seasoned woods, the whole thing is sturdy but lightweight.

Sound from classic jazz & blues to 60s-70s genres, depending on strings and attack. Very good vintage mini humbucker. Good hard case included.

(Thanks to all those who helped me identifying the model)
