Good to see this old thread revived--I like to see a little love for my favorite kind of guitar...
I have a few archtops, nothing fancy, a Godin Kingpin, and old Harmony Monterrey, and this beauty:
An Early 60's Master Cutaway. Wonderful guitar, and with the DeArmond, it's a sweet jazz box...definitely puts to rest the idea that Kay just made beginner's junk...
ANd not a deep bodied archie, but my main guitar is a Hofner Verythin, which is an archtop...just also semi-hollow and well, very thin. But it's a marvelous instrument, one I feel very lucky to own.
