Sharp dressed for a special occasion–this 2013 Black Tie Classic from Bill Comins is appropriately named. European Maple back and sides with sweet figuring pairs with X-braced European Spruce on top, understated Ebony appointments, bridge, tailpiece, and pickguard, and outfitted with a floating Kent Armstrong humbucker. Together in a 17 inch package, the result is a classically modern archtop that plays like glass in your hands. The acoustic voice is punchy and quick, even with flatwounds, while the amplified tone is thick, expressive, and dynamic. This Comins Black Tie Classic is one-hundred percent the professional, dressed to impress and ready to sing.
