That is Gorgeous!

I am interested in the coil tap feature. I use the same "stealth" volume and tone controls (from Mouser electronic supply) and Humbucking Kent Armstrong pickups on my archtops.

Thanks Brad.

Yeah, Kent makes some great pickups. I've also used his PAF on some of my other guitars. This is one of his hand wound single coils, wired to tap high/low with an on/on mini toggle.

I like both settings. Low is a little brighter, high is a little warmer, sort of like switching between neck and bridge.

Fantastic! I've never heard so much resonance from an archtop. Really beautiful sound as well as super looking!
