Douglas Harrison Model GB Jazz Guitar

 
 

 
 
    It is not often that I am able to offer an electric guitar whose function and usability surpasses its considerable visual appeal.  The Model GB is without a doubt the most well received jazz guitar we have ever carried for just that reason ... it is gorgeous,  but this fact is almost eclipsed by its playability & stunning tone characteristics.

    Some of the strengths of this model are quite evident as soon as you pick it up and start playing.  This is clearly a very well thought-out instrument ... the physical balance,  waist placement,  cutaway access and rear rib contour all combine to produce maximum playing comfort.  You don't have to "get used to" this instrument.  It just somehow molds to your body and lets you concentrate on the music. 

    Plug the GB in,  put it through its paces and you realize why this is the perfect gigging instrument for jazz influenced music.  Douglas Harrison has created a cohesive sound that brings the strong tone, feedback rejection & sustain of a solidbody, together with the woody nuances of a full bodied hollowbody jazz box ... not an easy feat!
