Sample developer Impact Soundworks released today Archtop: Hollowbody Electric Guitar, their latest virtual instrument for the Native Instruments Kontakt platform. Archtop features an exhaustively sampled Jim Hall model archtop guitar by Sadowsky, outfitted with custom electronics and performed by Josh Workman. The library is compatible with the free Kontakt 5 Player, and is available for special introductory pricing through January 15, 2014.

?Archtop is designed to suit a wide variety of musical genres, from jazz, blues, and funk, to R&B, pop, and rock; as it was recorded completely clean with two blendable pickups, the instrument can be used in virtually any context.
