Burrell 3/4 Hollow-body Jazz Guitar (Electric) JG023
|
- This Jazz Guitar is the latest BURRELL Jazz Guitar - finished in early
November 2008.
It is the last of the BURRELL Instruments to have the 2-level Headstock
with E, A, D on the upper level and G, B, & E on the lower level. While
this arrangement represents a move in the ergonomic direction - having all
Bass-side Grover Mini-locking Tuners that face the Artist while he/she is
playing, Mr. Burrell has moved on to an even more ergonomic Design for his
Headstocks. You may view that arrangement on Burrell-on-Tele w/Abalone
Shell Binding in the Gallery or Store.
This 2-level arrangement will still be available upon request for future
ORDERED Instruments.
- It has a 3-board glued-up Curly Maple Neck (3 boards are stronger than
1...its Biblical) that is guaranteed to not warp (the only non-warp
Guaranty in the Industry). The Neck is shaped by hand in a unique BURRELL
Router Jig so as to have an 8 degree twist (BURRELL Patent US4,534,260)
and the Curly Maple Fretboard is glued & pressed to it.
The Fretboard was also hand-shaped in a unique BURRELL Router Jig to
conform to the FENDER style Compound Radius & has the FENDER Style 25.5"
Fret Scale and has 22 "low profile" wide Frets (they look like Jumbos but
offer smooth transition from fret-to-fret when sliding up-and-down the
Neck).
- The Top, Sides, & Back of JG023 are all Curly Maple Boards (no plywood)
and are bound with Indian Rosewood - not a plastic look-alike.
- Mr. Burrell is an Artist! No 2 Instruments are exactly alike. This guitar has
a Color Job like no other. He applied 3 layers of stain with an Air-brush
to achieve this "Sunburst." A few coats of Nitro-cellulose Lacquer
wet-sanded by hand and some careful buffing completes the work.
- Scale length 25½" Standard (Other scale lengths available).
- The Nut is Surell, a material more the consistency of Bone than the Corian
Mr. Burrell normally uses; the Bridge is "Tune-O-Matic" Style, and the
Tailpiece is of 3 Curly Maple boards formed to match the curvature of the
Arched Body of the Instrument. Do we need to mention again that 3 boards
are stronger than 1? And of course the Pickguard is also 3 Curly Maple
boards formed...(but of course!).
- The Controls for the EMG 81/89 pickups are: 3-way Toggle Switch permitting
Neck/Bridge/or Both pickups operating, and 2 Volume & 2 Tone Controls. (Others available).
- Scale length 25½" Standard (Other scale lengths available).
- Overall body length is 19¾”.
- Upper Bout length is 12”.
- Waist length is 11”.
- Lower Bout length is 15¾”.
- Depth is 1¾”.
- Of course you may order a similar Instrument of your choice of colors,
Tuner arrangements, Instrumentation configuration, Scale-length, etc.
There are no up-charges for this-or-that on BURRELL Hand-made Instruments.
Wood type, Binding, Fret markers, etc. are all part of the Instrument so
why would we nickel-dime our Customers?
- THIS IS A CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! Mr. Burrell has other Instruments to build,
and there won't be another JAZZ Guitar until early 2009. The Price is
$2,100.00 and includes a nice Chinese-made Generic Tweed Case.
