This 2010s Schaefer Archtop 18 is a clean, modern take on the classic archtop formula. Finished in Natural, it shows only mild playwear throughout and presents very well overall. A single top crack has been glued and cleated, with a small area of binding repair, leaving it structurally solid and ready for regular use. The neck sports a comfortable thin U/D-leaning profile that feels fast and easy in the hand, and it plays great across the fingerboard. Tonally, it offers a clear, open voice—articulate and responsive—making it a compelling choice for players seeking a refined jazz box with a lively, breathing acoustic character. Comes with the OHSC.
