What We Think

The Comins GCS-16-2 is a beautifully balanced archtop that blends classic jazz elegance with modern reliability, making it a rewarding long-term investment for serious players. Its laminated spruce top and flame maple body deliver warm, controlled resonance, while the comfortably contoured maple neck and ebony fingerboard invite effortless movement across the fretboard. Custom Kent Armstrong humbuckers provide rich, articulate tone with excellent dynamic response, perfect for clean sophistication or nuanced expression. Thoughtful details, refined playability, and impressive balance give this guitar a confident, inspiring feel that continues to shine session after session.

Manufacturer's Description from Comins Guitars

Like the GCS-16-1, the GCS-16-2 also draws from archtop guitar tradition yet those archtops with more crossover appeal. The second pickup and metal bridge saddle facilitate a highly even and balanced response making the 16-2 a solid choice for electric jazz playing such as in organ trios or settings with loud percussion. And as it can hang in higher volume situations, this model is right at home in R&B and vintage rock environments. The bridge humbucker offers its own unique charms and it is especially useful when dialing in the separate volume and tone controls while in two pickup mode.
