hey guys,
here's some pics of my Jacobacci 335. First off, apologies for the crappy pictures, camera phone strikes again.
the purpose of this thread is to show mine, and see if anyone else has one, a show and tell if you will.
Jacobacci were a pair of French Luthiers who hand built from roughly 54-94.
Mines a little dinged up, and the observant of you will notice the holes where a bigsby has been taken off (i have it in a box)
it's full mahogany back, sides, top and neck. The centre block is half maple half mahogany.
I got mine from a long term friend/guitar tech, who has had it for years, and i finally managed to persuade him to sell it to me.
the serial numbers are a delight- mine is 800662, means built in 80, in the 06 month, and was the 62nd built that month.

she plays great, i always struggle with 335's, but this one sings. it has gibson p.a.f's from the late 70's in it.

i'll try and take better photo's if anyone is interested, but for me, the point is more to see who else has one etc.
there is a dedicated website to the builders, but it's in french, and therfore no use to me. some good photo's though......
