Have Audio has introduced a deeply expressive and highly playable Kontakt instrument that brings the unmistakable sound of jazz guitar octaves to life: Jazz Guitar Octaves.
Performed on a classic jazz archtop guitar, this library captures the warmth, phrasing, and nuance of one of the most iconic techniques in jazz history—delivering the smooth, singing tone that has defined generations of players and continues to inspire modern productions.
To achieve this level of authenticity, the instrument was recorded through a classic jazz amp and paired with a close microphone on the strings—capturing both the amplified tone and the natural acoustic detail of the instrument. The result is a rich, organic sound that you can shape and blend to taste.
Jazz Guitar Octaves features

- Two playing styles: Thumb and Pick.
- Blendable Amp + Acoustic (string detail) sound.
- Streamlined PLAY version for fast workflow.
