Bill Moll John Pizzarelli 7 String 2000, Blond

Bill Moll’s archtops have always occupied a distinctive corner of the American handmade guitar world, and this 2000 John Pizzarelli 7-String is a particularly compelling example. Built for the extended-range approach that Pizzarelli helped popularize, it adds a low seventh string without sacrificing the balance and acoustic responsiveness that make a fine carved archtop so rewarding to play. The carved spruce top and figured maple back and sides produce a warm, rounded voice with excellent projection and a strong fundamental, while the floating pickup preserves the instrument’s acoustic character.
