This is a brand new Mirabella Jazz Classic 16” archtop from one of New York's premier luthiers.

Mirabella Guitars continue the NY tradition and style of building high-end fully handmade archtop guitars from which Cristian was raised on, while also incorporating his own innovative designs and techniques. This balance as well as the balance of visually striking ascetics, top-quality workmanship, materials and acoustic-science are all reflected in each and every guitar Cristian Mirabella builds. 

Much of Cristian’s youth was spent in Jimmy D'Aquisto's workshop listening and learning from the Master Luthier himself. As Cris came of age he apprenticed under Ron DeMarino who built a name for himself as a great NY Luthier and repair tech after many years of doing work on countless vintage guitars for John Lennon and other well known artists of every genre.

Cristian Mirabella is most well-known for his archtops like the Crossfire model as well as laminate top models such as this Jazz Classic. He has also done a countless number of restorations on many of the worlds most sought after vintage instruments by names such as D'Angelico & D'Aquisto. This particular guitar is nicknamed "Halley" as it utilizes a Macassar Ebony fingerboard from the workshop of Jimmy D'Aquisto that resembles Halleys Comet.

A classic and stunning build that is sure to impress both the professional Jazz musician and collector alike.
