Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
If you've been eyeing up an archtop that has a nice bit of warmth in the midrange and plays like a dream then you should take a close look at this Peerless Imperial that landed in the shop recently! The short scale will have you playing with ease and with a Spruce top and Maple back and sides, you'll have all the clarity you need but with an added fullness that an all Maple build would lack. If you're looking for an archtop with punch and clarity that has timeless style then give us a call about this lovely Imperial today!
