1987 Monteleone Hot Club, Brazilian Rosewood/Engelmann Spruce

From 1987 we have a John Monteleone Hotclub. This is one of those guitars that teaches you to never judge it by its appearance. This axe appears to do one thing, but in all actuality, it does most of the things, and it does them exceedingly well. As you will no doubt hear in our demo, this is a consummate jazz guitar. However, it really transcends any genre or styling. It's complete, it's complex, it's surprising. Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides, Engelmann Spruce on top—and of course, a healthy dose of the alchemy of time. This guitar is just insanely good. Listen and look for yourself. WOW. Other keywords/misspellings: Luthier, lutherie, django, fusion, bepoke,
