My first archtop following the Bob Benedetto book, there are a few differences but only for aesthetics to give an art deco flavour.
I've always loved Orville Gibson's early work, this is a copy of one of his first archtops, obviously with a nod to his mandolin building. This has been built with a slimmer neck and truss rod to give it a more modern feel and an internal pickup. A really lovely guitar.
Now here's an interesting one, a smaller archtop with a lot of unique features including a home made sliding pickup. A VERY usable and versatile guitar. Some oddballs work some don't, this one most definitely does! CLICK ON THE IMAGE FOR MORE
