Paying its dues to the wonderful Gibson L-5 CES, this jazz machine from Antoria is guitar of charm and considerable performance.

 

Quality jazz archtops are hard to find without shelling out serious money. This lovingly created homage to the famous L-5 is a triumph of workmanship and affordability. There's beautifully figured and fully bound maple woodwork, a rather lovely trapeze tailpiece design, block fretboard inlays within a rich dark rosewood fretboard and two upgraded medium output vintage EMG select humbuckers that bring plenty of mellow warmth to the party.

 

At a tiny fraction of the price of its Gibson inspiration, this is a super thing.

 

This guitar is offered good condition with only minor wear commensurate with forty plus years in the game. There isn't much fade on the bridge volume pot but it does work. It plays and sounds excellent besides.

It has also been treated to a full String Theory service that includes strings, fretboard treatment, action setting, electrics check and a deep clean.

 

Viewing is always advised and very welcome by appointment in our Bristol studio. Further pictures also available on request as well as a condition report. If purchasing unseen, please be aware that this is a pre-loved instrument and will have commensurate wear. Part exchanges are always considered. We're proud of the positive feedback earned on all selling platforms.

 

Payment via cash, BACS, PayPal & credit card all available.
