Your NFS Archtop
How many archtop players have an NFS archtop?basically your grail guitar
|
Nothing fancy, but my Heritage 575 has completely fulfilled my electric archtop needs, and it has a lot of cool sentimental value too (it was made the year I started playing guitar, I bought it right after the birth of my first son)
So yeah...that guitar is not for sale, ever. Now...a great acoustic archtop...I could go for one of those:) |
People sell their guitars?

Got a Godin CW II that fills all my electric archtop needs - still looking for the right birth-year New York Epiphone at the right price...
|
I don’t know if it counts, but I have an Epiphone “Joe Pass” edition archtop that I’m pretty happy with and don’t plan to ever sell. Mainly b/c I like it and can’t really justify spending more money on guitars. Well.... unless I hit the lottery, in which case i might be able to justify something a notch or two better😁

My Guild A150 is growing on me. It's my only arch top. It will stay for a while. |
My 1930 Gibson L-5, which is actually a TG-5 converted to L-5 done at the factory in July 1935. Note the 10th fret marker which belies its origins.

Jim Triggs built a custom archtop for me; I’ve had it for a year and plan to have it for years...

Waited a decade for this Gilchrist 16” w/ Italian bearclaw top, it continues to amaze, would sleep in case before selling: http://www.gilchristmandolins.com/732

You waited 10 years for that guitar, you are a patient man I must say...

Stayed busy with other things

This one is just too cool for school... Built by Sigmund Johannessen the jaw-dropping finish work makes this one a keeper. The pictures don't do it justice. Flamed maple shows through everywhere you see red on the back/sides/neck.
Here's a video feature on this guitar from Guitar Player magazine. http://youtu.be/a1Hagnikj5Y https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-8...0/IMG_0034.JPG https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-X...0/IMG_0031.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-p...0/IMG_0027.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-V...0/IMG_0023.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-g...0/IMG_0020.JPG JR |
What a mindblower! Fabulous looking instrument. I tried to find a video of it being played, but came up empty handed. JR, is ths one you own?
