Guitar Research JX17NL Lefty Eddie Durham Hollow Body Electric Guitar (Natural)

Guitar Research thinks every guitarist should have at least one hollow body jazz box. They offer a new limited edition series of well constructed and smartly priced models to honor the 100th birthday of Eddie Durham, pioneer of the electric guitar. The JX17 takes the more "traditional" or "classic" approach to its design, with its floating pickup and vintage appointments evoking the guitars of jazz greats of years gone by. The body and neck are made from maple, with full binding throughout. The rosewood fingerboard features a set of pearloid block inlays with Eddie Durham's signature at the 12th fret. Additional features include vintage style tuners and tailpiece, and a tortoise pickguard with special engraving and mounted volume/tone controls. Natural finish. Includes deluxe case.

Guitar Research celebrates the 100th anniversary of Eddie Durham, the pioneer of the electric guitar. Eddie Durham was the first to develop and record on an amplified guitar. He taught his single string technique to Charlie Christian and wrote many of Count Basie's hits. These guitars are great choices for the first time owner or the owner of a vintage model who doesn't want to risk it during gigs. You'll love the feel and sound!
