IMPERIAL JAZZ CAT-Archtop Electric
| This is a racecar among ecomony cars! The
archtop electric that unpluged sounds like an acoustic
guitar! Besides the all-important factor of having to sound better than the rest of the pack, this guitar plays fast and butter smooth. The neck is thin (can be made how you like it) and has been pulled out more than the standard (more frets). It got rave reviews from a number of really talented players at the NAMM show as being the sort of guitar that the jazz superstars would want to play. If you play archtops and have to have the best then you owe it to yourself to consider a DeGennaro! There are two different guitars on this page, the description is on the bottom one. All things are customizable on my guitars though. |
