Peerless Manhattan

The Manhattan is largely based on the classic Gibson Johnny Smith model, a longstanding favorite among jazz guitarists for over half a century. Like Gibson's original design, this instrument is designed to retain its acoustic capabilities while simultaneously producing a rich and colorful amplified tone. It performs these duties exceedingly well as the Manhattan sounds great both acoustically and electrically. Players looking to tackle Johnny Smith's legendary chord melody pieces will be pleased to find that the Manhattan's 1 11/16th nut and short, 24 3/5" scale make even the most cumbersome chord shapes feel effortless.
