T's Arc Jazz Hollowbody Archtop
T’s · 2016
Here’s a rare Arc model from T’s Guitars in Japan: the Arc Jazz. It’s a fully hollow guitar with a carved spruce top and carved maple back. This particular model is no longer in production, and a very cool take on their signature shape.
Specs / Measurements
2016
Solid spruce / solid maple
~1.71” nut
~24.75” string length
~2.05” string spacing at saddle
~15” lower bout width
~1.75” rims
Bound fingerboard with purfling
T’s original humbuckers (Alnico 2 neck and Alnico 5 bridge)
Gotoh locking tuners
Original arched hard case
Condition / Setup Notes
Excellent(+); There is hardly any wear on this guitar. Very light pick marks can be found in raking light, and some tarnish on the pickup covers. Currently set up nicely with string height about 4/64” to 3/64” from bass to treble, and minimal relief.
Additional Thoughts
A very cool guitar, based on T’s Guitar’s original solid-body model the Arc. This one is a fully hollow guitar with both a carved top and back. It’s no longer in production, and somewhat of a rarity. Great sound unplugged, which translates to a great sound amplified. There are a multitude of tones available from the two T’s original design humbuckers. A very unique, and again very cool guitar.
