If you are looking for an affordable archtop with top-of-the-line specs, then look no further!
Designed by the esteemed jazz guitarist Robert Conti and assembled in the US using the best parts Conti can source from around the world. Introduced in 2016, the Heirloom model replaced the first gen Equity model and features a lightweight and comfortable 16" thinline body with a Florentine cutaway. The super fast feeling 24-fret neck offers unparalleled playability, that 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 single Kent Armstrong humbucker guarantees 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, ebony pickguard, and ebony fretboard with mother of pearl inlays.
In excellent condition, includes gig bag. Set up with Thomastik Swing flatwound strings.
