Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
An exceptionally clear and warm amplified sound makes this tidy and very beautifully figured laminate maple archtop a real dream to play. With a fresh neck reset, some cosmetic touches, and a professional setup from our in-house luthier, this nearly 25 year old guitar is refreshed and ready to make your dreams come true!
SP Luthier Notes: Neck reset, drop fills, and setup
From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
Playing and building guitars has been my life and my passion for over 45 years. From the first guitar I built in 1978, and now hundreds of guitars later, I build each guitar as if it were my own. The archtop guitar is a work of art in my eyes, and is my favorite guitar to build and design. Designing and building guitars with my clients, and hearing them played, is still one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. My handmade American Archtop Guitars, for which I have received worldwide critical acclaim, are built for the player. Guitars can be custom ordered and I am always available to discuss your personal preferences. I am president and owner of American Archtop Guitars. All my instruments are built in Nazareth, Pa. USA.
