Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

What does a compromise with no sacrifices look like?  If you want old-school, big box archtop tone with modern comfort and playability, you're looking at it!  That wide top and the parallel bracing bring a striking dynamic range and authoritative punch to the tonal table, while the mounted Lollar humbucker and 2 1/2" rims ensure clarity and focus, even at bandstand volumes.  

SP Luthier Notes: Fret Dress, Setup

From Eastman Guitars

The Jazz Elite 17″ 6 string is an all carved, 17″ lower bout, 2 1/2″ at rims archtop, custom designed by Guitars ‘n Jazz with heavy parallel bracing, block inlays, hand wound lollar imperial set humbucker pickup, and all maple binding. Top of the Line archtop guitar and  “gig ready” out of the box.
