MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL – 60TH ANNIVERSARY

Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar
Limited Edition of 24 Pieces

Created to celebrate the Festival’s 60th anniversary, this anniversary-edition semi-hollow electric guitar pays tribute to the history and musical legacy of the Montreux Jazz Festival. Adorned with the Festival’s official logo, it brings together refined design and exceptional craftsmanship.

Featuring an elegant Blue Burst Figured finish, a mahogany body and neck, a figured maple top, and a rosewood fingerboard, it is fitted with Grover tuners and a pair of handcrafted pickups made in Switzerland. Inspired by the hollowbody guitars of the late 1960s, these pickups deliver an open, clear, and warm tone with a lively attack, outstanding dynamics, and very little compression.

Designed by Guitar’s Café Lausanne (Adrien Fabrice and Philippe Mazenauer) and fitted with pickups conceived and handcrafted by Hugo Sierro, this anniversary edition celebrates the excellence of Swiss luthiery and the passion that has driven the Festival for six decades.
