The Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor II is a full-depth hollowbody jazz archtop bearing the name of jazz great Joe Pass, an affordable take on the classic Emperor with a laminated maple body and twin humbuckers. It produces a warm, round, woody jazz tone with smooth highs and full lows, suited to comping and single-note lead. It is a budget-friendly gateway to traditional archtop jazz tone.
The Heritage Kenny Burrell is the jazz great's signature archtop, essentially a Super 400-style full-depth carved jazz box built by Heritage in Kalamazoo. It delivers a warm, woody, complex jazz voice with rich lows and a smooth top, tailored to Burrell's elegant comping and lead. It offers high-end archtop tone and craftsmanship as an alternative to vintage Gibsons.
