Product Description
An excellent, arched-back Jumbo-style acoustic guitar.
This guitar has a fast, comfortable neck profile. Relatively slim without feeling small.
A beautiful, mature, well-balanced overall voice.
Plays & sounds better than a number of comparable guitars we have in the shop.
Overall good to very good condition.
This guitar has evidence of some previous binding repairs.
Upon arriving at Guitars ‘n Jazz our in-house luthier identified & addressed 3 grain separations on the soundboard.
The guitar underwent a long humidification & cleats were installed to close & stabilize the seams.
The guitar is great otherwise & plays amazingly.

Arthur Napolitano began building electric guitars in 1967, moved to Allentown in 1992, and began building archtops in 1993. The Primavera was his top-of-the-line instrument and this is a one off with customized bridge and tailpiece and flamed wood binding, built in the tradition of John D’Angelico. By the late 1990s–2000 period, his craftsmanship was fully mature — these are considered among his finest examples.
