Looking for the ultimate jazz guitar? Look no further than the Guild A-150 Savoy. This fully hollow guitar features an arched solid spruce top with an arched flamed maple back and flamed maple sides and a classic Blonde finish. A period-correct DeArmond Rhythm Chief 1000 floating pickup completes this homage to the original jazzboxes of the 50s with its warm,* * quintessentially “jazz” tone that has come to define the genre as a whole. Featuring a set of discrete thumbwheel volume and tone controls tucked under the pickguard, the A-150 Savoy holds all the tools you need to dial in your tone while keeping its elegant minimalist aesthetic. Premium features include ivory binding, an ebony floating bridge and fingerboard, traditional Guild harp tailpiece, and a hardshell case. Also available in Antique Sunburst or Limited Edition Snowcrest White.

A Closer Look at the A-150 Savoy

The DeArmond 1000 Rhythm Chief floating single coil pickup has been a staple feature of Guild archtops since the mid-1950s. Besides providing a natural, woody, acoustic tone, another innovative feature was the fingerboard mounting bar. This allowed installation of the pickup in the neck position of the guitar without having to alter the solid wood soundboard. It continues to be one of the most sought after archtop guitar pickups today.
