Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

As budget-friendly as it gets for a big body archtop, this is -the- instrument for folks looking for that mythical 17" Gibson archtop tone without facing the museum-piece prices.  Equally viable as an acoustic or amplified instrument. 

SP Luthier Notes: Light Dress, Polish Frets, Polish Hardware, Setup

From Gibson Guitars

Establishing a new standard in archtop excellence, crafted with a Solid Formed™ spruce top, Venetian cutaway, floating pickup, and full-sized hollowbody tone and looks.
