Serial #2036, built 5/2012

Gorgeous handmade archtop by Connecticut luthier James DeCava.

Excellent condition.

All solid woods – hand carved solid Adirondack spruce top, hand carved solid tiger maple back and solid maple sides, ebony fingerboard. Almond Burst finish.

The pickup was replaced with one of Kent Armstrong’s original handmade floating humbuckers. Volume & tone controls are hidden under the pickguard.

Overall length: 42" 

Width: 17"

Depth: 3"

Nut width: 1 3/4"

Scale length: 25 1/2"

Weight: 6 lbs. 1 oz. 

Wood bridge.

Original hardshell case.

I played a Gibson L5 for many years, this luthier-built guitar has more acoustic character, as well as a wider more comfortable neck for fingerstyle etc. Lovely tone and plays easily.
