Jim Hall — Rig Network

Hall's most associated guitar — the New Yorker, a fully handbuilt archtop by New York luthier John D'Angelico. The craftsmanship is the finest in American guitar building, and the tone — warm, full, and acoustically resonant — reflects that quality directly.

Used alongside the D'Angelico through Hall's early career — the ES-175's more modest construction still produces the warm, humbucker-equipped archtop sound suited to his intimate chordal approach.

Hall's primary amplifier for the majority of his career — the Polytone's warm, clean solid-state tone at low volume is ideal for his intimate, barely-above-whisper approach to jazz guitar performance.
