to devote myself now to manufacturing
HOLLOWBODY ARCHTOP GUITARS .
I propose you a small BlueJazz COTTON Club model
16 frets clear of the body, 13.4"
Features
COTTON Club Model
The ultra-light soundboards of my Archtop guitars are made from
the finest resonance wood fibers in the world.
Sourced from very old Sitka spruce from Alaska.
Cut from bridge wood billets purchased in 1998.
These billets were originally cut in the early 1980s for log bridges. This is the lightest Sitka spruce I have ever encountered, transformed into soundboard material,
15% lighter than other Sitka spruces.
About the same weight as Western Red Cedar.
They are highly resonant and vibrant.
This wood is obviously very expensive, but it is
the best quality available!
Solid Flamed Maple sides.
Solid Flamed Maple or Alder arched back.
Maple and Walnut neck.
Ebony fingerboard.
ASSYLUM PICKUP hand-wound by Christophe GAUDIN.
Ebony bridge.
Value: €3500
