What's Hot
Hi,
I am looking to buy a jazz archtop guitar. Looking for something smaller than 17 inches (at the lower bout), ideally 15 or 16 inches, but can consider up to 16.5 (that's really my limit).
1 11/16 nut width is a requirement.
Open to high quality guild and ibanez, hofner, gibson, d'aquisto, anything else.
Budget is £2000 but can stretch up to £2500.
Please show me what you have!
I am located in North London

For that price you could also get another Far East archtop and have enough left to buy a Tubescreamer haha.
Honestly though, for 850 you get a lot with the NS X-175. Sound wise it's close to the X-150 but it has jumbo frets which I don't like.
I spoke to Norm on the phone about this very guitar, and he said it was from his private collection, in mint condition.
It's a small 16" lower bout (smaller than my Westerly X-150), two humbuckers, sounds like it could be a good choice for you!
I knew you weren't, just a joke really
It comes with a very sad message from the seller in the description
Yeah I remember shops were getting rid of ES-275 with prices under 2k, but exactly it was 3 years ago! Now you can't find a ES-335 for 2k
