just a note...the tune o matic bridge, as it is adjusted in the photo, is for a plain 3rd string.
The ibanez af series are pretty nice...the floating pickup will give you a brighter tone than a set humbucker...will definitely sound a bit more acoustic like.
Enjoy your step into the world of archtops...there is nothing beter imho.

Thanks a lot, Jeff. I've still got much to learn, obviously. When you say to "go with the wound strings" for a more acoustic tone, do you mean the round wounds?
It kind of struck me as odd that the G string bridge was set so far behind the others. I didn't realize it would be different for a plain vs. wound G. Thanks again.
