  • Description: This is a wonderful Triggs New Yorker 18" archtop made for the 1998 Dallas Guitar Show. As the head of the Gibson Custom Shop in the early 90's Jim was responsible for the construction of over 400 hundred archtops, before making instruments under his own name. As one of the exalted "Blue Guitar Luthiers" Jim made a Super 400 for that commission. This Triggs New Yorker 18" consists of closely grained Engelmann spruce with big leaf maple sides and back. The tailpiece, headstock, and pickguard are exemplary. Sound is bright, clear, and powerful with excellent highs and lows compared to 17" archtops such as an L5. Plays great with nice action and excellent feel and sustain.
