Nearly untouched, Gilchrist crafted this Archtop masterpiece in 1996. With undeniable attention to detail and craftsmanship at the forefront of every decision in this archtop it proves itself to be a generational instrument. The overwhelming sweetness and focused tone make it a magical instrument for jazz. No matter the note it croons a dry maple tone that is ideal for complex chords and quick lead lines. The Red Maple back and sides put a lot of flamed maples to shame, and the Engleman Spruce top reflects the true intentions of the player well. Once you are able to stop looking at the beautiful craft and choice woods, you will be amazed by how lightweight the guitar is. The resonant qualities and ideal archtop tone make this guitar a joy.
