Sweet 16 Jazz Guitar

Sweet 16 Jazz Guitar, front view
Here's the second member of the art deco jazz guitar family, the Sweet 16.
The Sweet 16 features a 16" cutaway body, 3 inches deep, art deco styling, custom pickup made by Kent Armstrong to Price specifications, Pennsylvania flamed maple back, sides and neck, Englemann spruce top, arched ebony fingerboard with cloud inlays, Price ebony tailpiece, gold plated hardware, hand-shaded sunburst, hand-rubbed lacquer finish, multiple binding on body and purfled binding on peghead, f-holes, ebony bridge and a handmade mother of pearl truss rod cover and a custom pickguard which does not obstruct the f-hole. As on my Deluxe mandolins, I use X-bracing that crosses between the bridge and the neck, with the braces passing directly under the bridge feet for most efficient sound transfer and quick response.
I also have other top woods, including Sitka spruce and Adirondack red spruce. Price includes TKL Professional hard case.
