A Symphony of Craft and Soul

Witness the convergence of artistry and innovation. The Ron Jackson Signature 7-String Archtop, a collaboration between jazz virtuoso Ron Jackson and master luthier Wyatt Wilkie, is more than an instrument—it's a testament to the pursuit of perfect tone and unparalleled playability. Designed for the discerning jazz guitarist, this archtop redefines the boundaries of sonic expression.

The Art of Design and Construction

Inspired by the fluid lines of Wilkie's 16.25" Northern Flyer and the resonant depth of his 18" Atlas, this signature model presents a contemporary vision of the classic archtop. The refined Florentine cutaway, a Wilkie hallmark, not only enhances the guitar's visual allure but also unlocks a world of acoustic possibilities. Every curve and contour is meticulously crafted, creating an instrument that is as visually stunning as it is sonically profound.
