| | Archtop Guitars |
 | | Essentially, an archtop jazz guitar is a steel string acoustic guitar, normally electrified, and with a big soundbox reminiscent of cellos. | | | These guitars, for their limited acoustic response, are in between solid electric guitars and true archtops. | | | The 1970s were even worse: the high volume of popular music in those years made archtop jazz guitars anything but practical, with their tendency to feedback, huge size and old look. |

| | These archtops have the same carved, solid wood top and hollow body construction as their acoustic predecessors, with a floating pickup to allow the top to resonate freely, so they're still good as acoustic guitars. | | | Jim Hall also uses the acoustic capabilites of his guitar by using minimal volume when comping, even though his guitar has a routed pickup (granted, the guitar is a D'Aquisto). | | | I'm just looking for an amp that faithfully reproduces my acoustic archtop's tone at a volume the audience will be able to hear. |

| | Hancock Archtop Guitars Models |
| | The Jazz Electric has the look and feel of an acoustic archtop jazz guitar but has a rigid core running through the center of the body which eliminates the vibrations in the top and back plates, which are the source of feedback. | | | The Jazz Electric is a model for those players who want an archtop jazz guitar to play electrified without the problem of feedback which often comes with playing an acoustic instrument through an amplifier. | | | Because Hancock archtop guitars are handmade, specifications of individual instruments may vary from those listed. |

| | ArchTop Guitars |
| | The tonewoods chosen for acoustic guitars are selected for their acoustic properties as well as their physical characteristics and their appearance. | | | Generally the acoustic archtop employs an X brace, ebony tailpiece, and a large bridge base that makes precise contact with the soundboard across the entire footprint of the bridge. | | | The tops and backs are carved from solid tonewoods, but the final thicknesses are larger to reduce feedback problems when the instrument is amplified. |
