The Jazz Elite
“The Jazz Elite has a Curly Maple back, sides and neck with a Spruce top. The Spruce top has the warmth Jazz requires, and the clarity of the Maple give this instrument that single note definition that finger style Jazz players strive for.
I think the Ebony Tailpiece option is the right choice for this model both in appearance and tone.”
