THE JAZZ GUITAR – A GALLERY OF CUSTOM ARCHTOP GUITARS

In November of 1994 I purchased the premier issue of Just Jazz Guitar featuring Jazz Guitarist – Jimmy Bruno and Custom Archtop Guitar Builder – Bob Benedetto… What else needs to be said except that I was simply hooked! Everything about jazz and jazz guitar was appealing to me – the incredible sounds, rhythms, creative energy, improvisation, tonal freedom – and as if that wasn’t enough, the jazz guitar just by itself was (and still is) an absolute work of art!

So, I did what many guitarists probably did – (after buying Jimmy Bruno’s “No Nonsense Jazz Guitar” instructional video) I started to dream of what it might be like to unlock the secrets, open that door and finally move beyond the great mystery (that was jazz guitar) while embracing and playing (with creative freedom) one of those absolutely beautiful custom built archtop guitars. How did I do? Well, perhaps I’m at least part way there (lol). Take a quick look and listen for yourself (video Link) just before you find yourself enjoying (and exploring) all that this unique archtop guitar gallery has to offer!
