Tom Bills Autumn

Autumn - $12,500.00

The Autumn archtop guitar incorporates many of the finest tonal qualities of a flat top guitar while retaining the traditional roots of its heritage as an arched instrument. The Autumn's unique blend of warmth and clarity is what lead Tom Bills to choose its name. It reminded him of wearing a warm sweater on a cool autumn day. The Autumn's tone has that same feeling of warmth but with the clarity and crispness of a cool autumn breeze. The forward projection is powerful and further enriched for both player and audience by its side sound port. The top is voiced to be very sensitive and to bring out all that the master grade tone wood has to offer. If you have ever felt limited by the traditional Jazz archtop, the Autumn is the guitar you've been longing for.
