Playing this guitar, you will experience superior separation of course (the ability to hear individual notes and complex chords in individual strings). As well as outstanding multi-dimensional acoustic imaging. It has great feedback suppression with an enhanced bass response not found in any other archtop guitar.
“Sustain, resonance, and harmonic qualities that equal those of my very favorite older instruments. I cannot imagine how good this thing will sound in a few years time.”
- Peter Sumpf
This versatile guitar may be strung with either phosphor bronze or electric strings, we suggest you try both! It has a floating Kent Armstrong, American made, pickup which is mounted in a unique platform on the neck, giving it the ability to perform like a Gibson L5 or a Gibson 175. It features volume and tone control, mounted under the pickguard as well as unique proprietary hex adjustable thumb wheels for the bridge.
The Halfling™ Jazz Guitar has a nitro-cellulose finish in the great tradition of fine guitar making; designed to age like an excellent wine.
