The Loar LH 600 or LH 700 is as close your going to get to an old pre war Gibson acoustic archtop for small beans.
They’re basically 16” late 20’s to mid 30’s L5 or L4’s with parallel bracing and THE rhythm sound.
I wouldn’t think about putting a pickup on it. I use a noncut p90 Godin Kingpin for the old school electric jazz.
Don’t get me wrong, if I hit the jackpot I’m going vintage archtop shopping!
