Sound Pure's Take
The full, rich tone of this archtop is unreal. It's clear without being bright. Forward without being overly punchy. It plays effortlessly and sustains for ages. Aesthetically, it's as classy and refined as it gets. Every curve, carve, and cut has been executed with surgical precision.
The X-braced design and mahogany back and sides lend it an earthiness and acoustic presence that distinguish it from other thin jazz-boxes.
The Johnny Smith pickup has a classic tone that will conjure spinning records in your mind's eye.
This is the Jazz guitar of the future!
Weight: 5.3 lbs.
Condition: Used, Great - Some play wear
From Collings Guitars
Thin, light, and exquisite, the City Limits Jazz commands attention. Built with a fully hollow Honduran mahogany body, carved European spruce top, and modern stylings, this sleek thin-bodied archtop is made for jazz.
