I’m wondering if you all here play and own guitars like this. If so, what would you recommend? I may have missed a few makers. I’d like to keep it under $2K if possible.
Plenty of high-quality stuff out there under $2K - heck, there's some great stuff out there under $1K that'll compete with instruments two and three times the price (did someone say Gretsch...?)...

BTW you might want to check in over on the Archtop subforum - those guys (a couple of whom weighed in here) know these guitars inside and out, and there's some great advice to be had...
