We're always on the lookout for the unconventional, especially when a jazzbox guitar body is the inspiration. We mentioned North Carolina builder, Thomas Durr of Doc's Mandolins earlier this year with his Frankenstein contraption deflection jig. With a little coaxing, we hope to get one of his ArchJazz latest instruments into the JazzMando Laboratory soon for a little poking, prodding, and of course picking...
Some neat pics, including his cutting edge 'Offset X' top bracing:
