Best Price Guarantee

Our goal at Guitars ‘n Jazz is to find you the best possible instrument that not only matches your personal requirements and play-style, but is also a guitar that you enjoy playing and look forward to picking up.

We strive to price our instruments as competitively as possible in order to give our customers the best possible value for their dollar. And as a guitarist myself I would never sell an instrument that didn’t live up to my own high standards and expectations.

All of our instruments are thoroughly inspected, tested, professionally set up, and carefully packed for shipment. And all instruments are sold with our 72 hour satisfaction guarantee.

We encourage you to call us for the best price possible. We routinely have demos, closeouts, blemishes, and used instruments available for purchase. And if you happen to find a lower price please let us know.

And please keep in mind that it’s difficult comparing various instruments on the Internet. Since many of our guitars come standard with upgraded woods and tone controls shopping by price alone won’t tell the whole story.

Since our inventory changes so frequently it’s best to call us to find all of your available options. With over 500 archtops in stock you can be assured that we have unbelievable guitars to fit any budget.

Product Description

This guitar was handbuilt by a great luthier, Stephen Holst.   Great gigging jazz guitar to make it sound really cool with that great jazz thump and swing. This laminate top is handbuilt by Holst, it’s not a commercially laminate made top, which is very feedback resistant.  The top and back are are bound with solid maple rims. The fingerboard, truss rod cover and pickguard are all in Macassar ebony. The tailpiece is West African ebony.Comes with a TKL hardshell case.
The neck is more of a vintage Gibson neck, more on the fuller side of aGibson L5. It’s well setup, neck straight and the action is amazingly jazz-low. It’s a joy to play. It also has a great acoustic sound, even though it’s built to be electric.   Effortless to play and have to put down.
The specs:
Nut: 1 3/4″
Pickup: GFS Vintage ’59 Humbucker
Scale: 25″
