CUSTOM PALEN PERFORMER ARCHTOP GUITAR custom made for a NTC jazz Guitarist coming soon. Very rare, amazing tone and playability. Gigged By JC Styes but in great shape! JC has been a great friend of Guitars’n Jazz. The back of the neck was shaved to meet his personal requirements. It is very comfortable and fast. It is is natural wood and unfinished, which is preferred by some players. It can be purchased as is, or we can refinish the back of the neck if you prefer. CheckOut the VIDEO below, made with this exact guitar ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gcI-3-zTYY&list=RD0gcI-3-zTYY&start_radio=1
PALEN ARCHTOPS are among the finest archtop guitars ever built. The Palen Archtop is an “X” braced traditional instrument, descendent from the D’Aquisto school of instruments- very light and acoustic. It features a hand carved and graduated top and back, slightly thicker than many typical archtop guitars, with a very resonant and acoustic tone.
In most cases the back and sides are of bigleaf maple. Woods used are always the best available with great resonance and flame. Tops are either Sitka spruce or Englemann spruce, hand carved and tap tuned. Necks are five piece and constructed from matching maple with laminated ebony between the 3 pieces of maple. The front of the Headstock is covered with ebony and features an inlaid “P”. You may also select your choice of wood for the front of the headstock. The back or the headstocks are multi-laminated with an array or gorgeous exotic woods, which ad great strength and beauty.
All Palens are built with traditional style F-holes to allow excellent clarity and chordal note separation. The binding can me wood (maple, Koa, etc), or the standard archtop binding. Scale length is 25 inches, nut width is 1 3/4″ for the 6 string, and 2 1/8″ for the 7 string. All Palens come standard with an ebony fretboard, with or without inlays. The standard body depth is 3″ at the rims, and comes standard with a floating pickup. High gloss,multi layered Nitro cellulose finish in various colors, or a custom color of your choice. . Hardware is the best available quality of your choice, and tailpiece, pickguard, bridge and fingerboard are ebony are ebony. A single Venetian cutaway and a routed set Hand wound Kent Armstrong pickguards.
After purchasing Palen #59 and bringing it home, some wonderful things started to happen. My wife tells me that I sound better than ever. The vocalists that I backup aren’t so happy because they tell me that the Palen sounds so smooth, that their singing pales in comparison to the tone of the Palen. Frank L Michigan
