Wow, this thread has really sparked some debate! I have to say, this is exactly how I feel about the subject:
"As long as people know the difference. Unfortunately many people don't.
Most "arch tops" are pressed tops and made of laminated wood aka plywood. They have very little in common with a carved top guitar."
I was showing a guy at work a picture of a D'Angelico acoustic archtop that was featured in an ad in a recent issue of "Guitar Player." I said "this is the type of guitar I play." He said "Oh, I thought you only played acoustic?" I replied "Yeah, I do!" Its not easy not being like every other acoustic guitarist...
