CARMEN
jazz archtop guitar 16′
Carmen is a refined 16-inch full-body archtop guitar.
Inspired by the great archtops of the 1950s, it captures the spirit of vintage jazz while incorporating modern design.
Its soundboard is hand-carved from the finest spruce from the French Jura, while the back is made from solid maple, walnut, or mahogany.
A vertical bracing pattern gives it fast, precise response and excellent projection, especially in the low and mid frequencies.
It comes with an ebony fingerboard, bridge, and pickguard.
The fingerboard is adorned with bone inlays, while the headstock proudly displays our original logo in Polynesian mother-of-pearl. Multiple bindings elevate its elegance.
You may choose between a table-mounted pickup with a hand-carved wooden ring, or a floating pickup at the end of the fingerboard. A discreet volume control sits beneath the floating pickguard.
Both acoustically and electrically, Carmen shines with a dynamic voice and effortless playability. Comfortable and versatile, it is equally suited for jazz enthusiasts and professional performers.
