Stromberg, a family that has left its mark on the history of jazz and North American lutherie.<\/span><\/span> Founded by Charles Stromberg in 1906, they produced only about 600 instruments until 1955. They helped shape jazz as we know it today.<\/span><\/span> Their guitars are highly prized by collectors today, as well as players, for their exceptional sound quality.<\/span><\/span> The G-100 model presented here, for example, features double tone bar bracing, a design developed by Elmer, the youngest son of Charles Stromberg, recognized as the most gifted luthier in the family and certainly one of the best of his time.<\/span><\/span> This guitar features a spruce top with a beautiful, tight grain, and laminated maple back and sides.<\/span><\/span> The finely engraved headstock features Stromberg’s delicate signature, surrounded by small decorations, as well as a banner indicating the “G100” model.<\/span><\/span> The fingerboard is bound with binding and adorned with large mother-of-pearl block markers, in the style of high-end archtops like the Gibson L-5 or certain luxury Epiphone models.<\/span><\/span> And it’s essentially the same type of feel and sound as on this kind of high-end prewar model.<\/span><\/span> A very powerful, straight yet enveloping sound, rich in harmonics.<\/span><\/span> The sustain is pretty incredible, I think, and very precise too.<\/span><\/span> The pickguard and bridge have been replaced, a common feature of these old archtops.<\/span><\/span> A crack at the F-hole on the lower side has been repaired;<\/span><\/span> it has been stable for a long time.<\/span><\/span> The playability is perfect, the action is very low, no fretting, the neck is straight, and the frets are of a very good level.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Comes with a vintage Lifton case.<\/span><\/span> It deserves it.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

You can listen to it played in the shop by the talented Vincent Robineau in the video below.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
