A 14 1/2 inch Jazz Junior archtop jazz guitar; a lightweight and compact design, which makes it ideal for small concerts at restaurants or bars where you don't have 'room to move' (does that trigger a harmonica solo by John Mayall with you? it does with me) , or travel. It fits in a classical guitar case ! And still you get this classic, deep and mellow jazz sound from a handcarved and tuned body and mahogany neck.
A cool guitar and it's a joy to play.
