What We Think

Weight: 6.5 lbs.

Condition: Used, Very Good

This is -the- guitar for players looking for spotless, compressed jazz tone and solidbody-like playability and response.  It should come as no surprise that this rare combination came about as a result of a winning collaboration between Fender and archtop wizard, Jimmy D'Aquisto.  The short scale and 1 11/16" nut allow for quick and comfortable runs, while the laminate construction focuses and contains the power put out by D'Aquisto's own Schaller humbucker.  Whether you're an archtop enthusiast on the hunt for a rare piece of D'Acquisto's legendary career or a solidbody player looking to venture into jazz with just the right transition piece, look no further!
