The Crescent City Elite
Archtop Jazz Guitar
The Crescent City Elite is the crown jewel of the Crescent City Series. It is also my most popular model. Only the most select domestic tone woods are used in the creation of a Crescent City Elite. As with all Foster guitars, only the highest grade ebony, abalone shell, tuners, and pickups are selected to be used on the Elite. This archtop is availble as a 6-string guitar or a 7-string guitar.
Price starts at $8,900
