If you'll go here and look at all the different pictures listed, you'll get a great idea of what is possible with Deco:

I think LAG acoustics have a kind of understated, borderline art deco vibe. Not sure how high up the quality ladder their line goes, but I liked the ones I played.

Ain't it though? It's a Harmony Catalina.

It is Southwestern inspired Art Nouveau.
To avoid confusion, perhaps, "Art Nouveau" and "Art Deco" are not the same. This is a good example of Art Nouveau:



I found this fabulous Gibson, which is a great example of Art Deco:

That's great...Art Doily. You nailed that one...and the reason he's smiling is that he didn't have to pay their prices for that guitar. Also, he can get free neck resets anytime he wants. None of that 40 year cutoff for him. He's family. LOL.

By the way, if you want a classical exmple of Art Deco, just take a look at the Empire State Building.

Which do you all think has a more art-deco influence....Taylor 514ce or Gibson Songwriter Deluxe Standard?
