Heritage s-16, golden eagle, vs what else?
Looking at archtops in the 2500-3500 range used. Carved spruce top models. What are some other comparable or better guitars in this range (excluding eastmans no chinese guitars please). It seems like I am seeing a lot of heritages plus quite a few vintage type instruments that I don't necessarily recognise or have a hard time evaluating the conditions of and potential problems without seeing in person. I have seen a few luthier made instruments that while intriguing I can't find a single review on.
Are there other instruments in this range that are commonly reguarded as pretty good quality all around that I wouldn't be taking too big of a risk buying sight unseen. |
If you buy from a reputable dealer the risks are minimized - guys like Gruhn. Elderly, archtop.com, etc. worked too hard/too long to cultivate their reputations to knowingly slip you a lemon; that said, a few suggestions if you insist on buying American:

Thanks for those suggestions a lot. Two of those you mentioned I ran across just today and were taking an interest in. I found a heritage eagle mahogany and a campellone standard and both are a little below the prices you mentioned. I might do a little more digging tommorow and find out about those specific instruments. Thanks. I do appreciate it.

Used, who knows what you might find.
But Heritage's guitars stand up to pretty much any. And they spray the best sunburst in the whole dang world. |
