Jaén Siracusa 16R+ Custom Archtop Guitar
The Jaén Siracusa 16R+ is a fully carved 16" archtop handmade by luthier Fernando Jaén in Cuenca, Spain. This meticulously built guitar is not your average archtop. It has a very thin carved spruce top which is incredibly responsive. The acoustic tone is amazing - it sounds more like a flat top, with all the bass that you miss in many archtops.
The bridge has ebony feet, and is extremely light. The saddle has individual piezo crystals inside that really work. Unlike most piezo pickups, the pickup on this guitar is properly balanced - all strings are even, non louder than the other.
The magnetic pickup is custom made by Jaén. It integrates the volume controls for itself and for the piezo.
