Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
What does a compromise with no sacrifices look like? If you want old-school, big box archtop tone with modern comfort and playability, you're looking at it! That wide top and the parallel bracing bring a striking dynamic range and authoritative punch to the tonal table, while the mounted Lollar humbucker and 2 1/2" rims ensure clarity and focus, even at bandstand volumes.
SP Luthier Notes: Fret Dress, Setup
