Overview

Figured maple elegance on the ultimate jazz box.

This legendary archtop adds figured maple to its period-correct looks and features, with two vintage-correct MHS humbuckers and a soft 'C' neck profile with rolled binding for a superb playing feel.

New for 2015
Historic truss rod: Superior adjustability due to the Teflon coating, larger diameter rod, original brass anchor and larger washer.
Rolled neck binding: Binding is rounded off to comfortably fit the contours of the player's hand.
Vintage style "No Logo" potentiometers
45 degree bevel on all plastics: Historically accurate
Quartered Adirondack Spruce braces: One step closer to vintage ES tonality.
