If you are looking for an affordable archtop with top-of-the-line specs, then look no further!
This is a first generation Conti guitar made between 2009 and 2015, designed by the esteemed jazz guitarist Robert Conti and perfectly crafted in the Peerless factory in Korea. The Equity model is a modern take on vintage single-cut archtops. Featuring a lightweight and comfortable 17" thinline body with a Florentine cutaway and 24-fret neck for unparalleled playability, the Heirloom won't feel unfamiliar to players used to contemporary solid-bodies. A solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides result in a very resonant and lively feeling guitar, while a pair of mini humbuckers guarantee stunning tone plugged in. Gold Grover Imperial tuners and a locking Tune-o-Matic bridge insure solid tuning stability while serving up vintage style that compliments the luxury appointments; a solid ebony tailpiece, bound ebony pickguard, and ebony fretboard with mother of pearl inlays.
In good condition with a couple of small dings, includes gig bag. Set up with Thomastik Swing flatwound strings.
