Gorgeous guitars, guys and gals! Here are my contributions - a reverse chronological photo essay of every archtop I've owned. I've included both electric and acoustic archtops, but my preference these days is definitely for acoustics:
Collings AT16 - the only one that I currently have:
1958? Epiphone Century - this is my Grandpa's, but it's on loan with my dad (who doesn't play), so I play it a lot. Sounds phenomenal with flat wounds through a low wattage tube amp!
Eastman AR810CE:
Thorell Frank Vignola model:
Benedetto Frank Vignola Standard:
Eastman AR371:
Gretsch Setzer Hot Rod:
1933 L-7, full (gorgeous) refinish, which was required due to a past owner trying to refinish it in natural and doing a hack job! This guitar was amazing, and is one of the few ones that I truly miss!
