Alma Archtop
​Guitar and Bass

The Alma Archtop brings the graceful lines of the Alma to a 15-inch hollowbody inspired by classic mid-century jazz boxes.  With multiscale geometry, a bolt-on neck, and unmistakably Jayemar details, it's a modern interpretation of the archtop tradition rather than a reproduction of it.​
The Alma Archtop model includes:
Body:
  • Laminated maple top and back plates with a “Jay” soundhole
  • Chambered western red cedar or Oregon red alder core
Neck:
  • 1- or 2-piece bolt-on cherry neck with 2-way adjustable truss rod (headstock adjustment), carbon fiber reinforcement, angled headstock, a 16 inch radius North Indian Rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets (stainless zero), and Skur Composites glow-in-the-dark side dots (one 12th fret fingerboard dot)
  • Guitar: 24-3/4 inch treble to 26 inch bass multiscale fretboard, neutral fret at the 7th, 1-11/16 inch nut width
  • Bass: 28-1/2 inch treble to 30 inch bass multiscale fretboard, neutral fret at the 9th, 1-1/2 inch nut width
Finish:
  • Hand-rubbed sunburst on top, back, and headstock.
  • Black painted body core.
  • Oil topcoat.
Hardware:
  • Guitar: Graph Tech 3+3 chrome tuners, Rondo Music Cepheus chrome multi-scale tune-o-matic bridge with hand-carved rosewood base
  • Bass: Graph Tech 2+2 chrome tuners, hand-carved rosewood bridge
  • Hand-carved rosewood finger rest, tailpiece, control cover, and truss cover
Electronics:

  • One 500k Bourns tone pot with .022mf capacitor
  • Switchcraft jack
