Just letting my curious mind wander a bit,do you think any of the bespoke archtop builders of today`s guitars will reach the high end?

Not until the year 2121.

Certainly Monteleone, who already has for all intents and purposes. Gilchrist is a strong bet too.

ALWAYS use google first.

It helps to avoid those awkward moments.

I guess we can assume you missed Guitar Heros at The Metropolitan Museum of Art?

John Monteleone has been a friend forever (was my best-man the day I got married), and we always knew he'd do something big.

I know Larry well……

If you know him, and can't be coaxed onto the ferry, well then it's Forest Ave for you.

I know Stan very well:-)

Here's Larry's ex Loar L-5 near my right arm, and my 1927 L-5 near my left:
