Comins GCS-16-2 Vintage Blonde Archtop Guitar #218079  From Comins Guitars

We've been longtime fans of Bill Comins' work.  The highly versatile, masterfully conceived, unfailingly reliable GCS-1s and GCS-1ESes have been shop favorites for years.  We couldn't be happier to introduce and offer the newest addition the Guitar Craft Series--a full on 16" archtop available in 1 or two pickup varieties.  Having had the chance to play several of Bill's custom archtops over the years, we're amazed by how faithfully the design and quality have been carried over to these production level instruments.  You hardly even feel the guitar in your lap--it's just comfortable in every way.  The amplified voice offers a range of tonal colors from smooth and smokey to a bit more aggressive and sizzly (particularly with the two pickup model's bridge pickup).  It's wonderful to play a guitar with a simple layout that responds so readily to the player.  Making slight adjustments to the volume/tone relation, moving from pick to fingers, shifting right-hand position relative to the pickup--all reveal a lively, world-class instrument that's ready for everything from the smallest shedding sessions to the biggest bandstands.
