Archtop News
December 19th, 2008
We have shipped the latest batch of Archtops, and both Chuck and I think they’re absolutely fantastic.
We’ve been experimenting with different, subtle, variations of “binding” color and we think the guitars look incredible.
There are two guitars (possibly only one – it’s in discussion) for sale from this batch, so you can wait until photos are up (most likely Monday or Tuesday) or call Chuck for details.
This batch, we built our first 3 pickup Blues Queen. We weren’t sure it was going to be pretty, but it sure is!
We also have our first factory Bigsby trem, and our first gold leaf binding!!!

The subtle binding change was a pleasant surprise and that combination with my
Black topped Professional looks incredible.Look for #174 when the pics get published.

Having just bought a Blues Queen, I need to say one more thing; The neck carve at the heel is to die for! The most comfortable I’ve ever played! The neck through on an archtop is genius. That is innovation! Ok, I guess that amounts to four things. Now you make a three pickup version? I guess its time for a sister…
