This is an amazing sounding SS Jazz Archtop from renowned Israeli builder Elkayam Boaz. The design is completely original and and employs parallel braces making this one of the most responsive archtops you’ve ever played. Acoustically it’s very loud and there is a custom handmade Lace pickup originally designed for Jimmy D’Aquisto. The neck is designed for a lifetime of accurate play and complimented by another Boaz original idea, a bone saddle with staggered heights for instant adjustment to the action. There are amazing details ranging from the fingerboard inlay, side inlays, custom pickguard with hidden volume control and hand hammered tailpiece. Completing this beautiful archtop is a wonderful Ribbon inlay on the back of neck. This is a player, a collector piece and a work of art all at once!
I've only ever played a few archtops that were this loud acoustically. To me that makes a huge difference and transfers to a wonderful amplified sound that remains airy and natural. This guitar also has artistic touches that make it one-of-a-kind and very rare. Boaz is very well known and considered a true original in the guitar world. This is special. 
Nice clean, cutting sound. This is a very lively guitar and the adornments are unique and beautiful. | Scale Length | 25.3750 in |
