I'm looking to move on a beautiful instrument, a Soloway Swan NYA. These guitars are built amazingly by Jim Soloway, who is a really talented jazz guitarist and luthier. In fact, Steve Blutcher of DiMarzio considered Soloway his favourite luthier. The most distinctive feature of the Swan NYA is its 27 inch scale length, which causes notes to bloom with great clarity and sustain. This features a flamed maple neck, a swamp ash body with maple top. The 5 way pickup selector allows one to switch between the neck, neck and bridge combo, middle pickup, middle and bridge combo, and bridge pickup. The neck and middle pickups are DiMarzio Area Ts, while the bridge pickup is a DiMarzio Virtual Solo. Together they create beautiful and sweet sounds. The neck is a comfortable medium C, ranging from about 0.83 at 1st fret to about 0.92 at the 12th fret. Jim describes this as a super telecaster.

Sadly, there are a couple of scratches in the body (As displayed in the photos), but they can be buffed out.
