This Carbon fiber archtop has a one piece back and sides made from 100% Twill weave carbon fiber, the top is carbon fiber and Jute supported with an X bracing pattern. The body is very durable and also has a slight body contour on the belly side. The neck is constructed from maple and rosewood. The guitar uses a single 6mm Allen key to adjust neck angle. A couple turns on this bolt take it from an electric guitar shredder to an acoustic parlor instrument. Fine action adjustment is made with a single 3mm Allen key at the bridge that adjusts the carbon fiber saddle in the walnut base. Electronics are built into the Maple, carbon, kevlar, pickguard. A custom wound single coil "Charlie Christian" style pickup sits front and center dubbed the Jazz Tuna ( like a clean p90). Tone and volume controls are concealed under the guard. Easily removed with two Philips screws and a clip. The tailpiece is made in house from hand carved aluminum to match the hand carved headstock.
The pickup produces a clean and clear tone with a warm rounded low end. The X bracing means little feedback.
Well balanced when playing standing or seated. The unique construction makes this a good gigging instrument as it isn't affected by humidity or temperature changes like other traditional builds. Currently set up with D'addario nickel wound 11's . Please message with any questions.

The Luthier Bench advocates for a series of precautionary steps when shipping a guitar. We highly recommend that Sellers follow the following guidelines outlined in our Knowledge Base article: HOW TO SHIP A GUITAR. Important pointers like loosening the strings prior to shipping are detailed in the article.
Our shipping policy is straightforward - every domestic shipment from a USA-based Luthier to a USA-located Buyer will be charged a $150 flat fee, including $5,000 of comprehensive shipping and purchase insurance. For international shipments, our platform charges a flat fee of $350 for shipments originating in the USA to any EU address ($450 from EU workshop to USA Buyer and $250 from EU Workshop to EU Buyer), also including $5,000 of shipping and purchase insurance. After purchasing a guitar build on our platform, our logistics team will directly reach out to the Buyer to: (1) confirm the transaction; (2) offer Buyer an array of shipping alternatives; and (3) determine desired insurance level coverage.
