The Imperial cuts through well in my trio work, and sounds sweet on solo pieces. The tone is simply exquisite.Īmplified it does not disappoint either. Some people find them 'too bright' however, this guitar has a 'pure' resonant quality with a thick honey-like sound. Carved tops are naturally brighter than solid tops and laminates. The floating PU is loud compared to some other 'floaters' I have owned while the sound of this guitar is crystal clear.Īcoustically, the Peerless Imperial is quite charming. The nut is 1 11/16 and the neck, and like the Monarch, roomy for a short scale of 24.6" and 22 frets. The Peerless Imperial is a 17" x 3" archtop body with carved spruce top, carved maple sides and back, 3 piece maple neck, an ebony fret board, bridge, pick guard and tail piece. The ebony pick guard, tail piece, bridge and volume control really add to the look of this guitar, as do the Grover ebony tuners. I have a few shots I took of my Peerless Imperial. The Peerless Imperial is a gorgeous creamy blonde.

Pickups : 1 Innovated Floating Mini-Humbucker (Increases output to 90% of Epiphone' 57 Full Size Humbucker) Machine Heads : Grover GH102 with Ebony Knobs Most every other carved top jazz guitar by other makers costs substantially more money. This guitar is very reasonably priced at under $2000. Being partial to spruce tops, I especially like the tone of this instrument. Acoustically, this is the nicest guitar I have owned (and I have owned a lot of guitars). The carved top and carved maple sides and back make for an exceptional sound. It is essentially an upgraded Monarch, same dimensions, only with different woods. I have recently been gigging with the Peerless Imperial. This is at the high-end of the affordable spectrum, however the cost of the guitar is remarkable given the carved top and ebony woods used in it's manufacture.
