The classic small-body tone of the JTE Signature starts with the solid sitka spruce top.

Recording King said Earle loved the brand’s early Dirty 30s guitars and specifically requested the traditional floating bridge and gold tailpiece for his signature model. To reflect his style and attention to detail, Earle outfitted his signature model with gold hardware, tortoise body binding and tuner buttons.
