Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Excellent

The maple back and sides are full of a bold fundamental tone, crystal clear and articulate with a lively attack and presence.

It's the type of guitar that'll play itself, the neck feels like home the moment it hits your hands.

Glide up and down the fretboard with easy access to all registers, it's a fantastic playing guitar and a great looking piece that sounds even better.

The fact you can get all of this guitar for such a low used price point is almost unreal.

From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)

“The Monarch is the flagship and made of all solid woods and undoubtedly the best value in the jazz world delivering a great guitar with great chordal note separations, clarity, sustain and feedback resistant. This is accomplished by using all solid woods – spruce top and maple back and sides and installing a sound-post from the factory that dampens the top just enough to make this guitar feedback resistant. The fretboard is a dream starting at 1.69 at the nut and increasing gradually to 2 1/16 at the 12th fret.”
