Playing them first is the issue. Difficult to find a variety of these guitars in person. Went to st Louis and Illinois this weekend and played 2 old Gretschs which were in decent condition but I didn't like the playability. I'm 2 and half hours from st Louis then another hour to the one in Illinois.
Even the guitar center stores don't have any archtops there
There is also not a lot of information on the various Vegas. The one I'm looking at may well have been outsourced overseas and is considered lower quality but no way to confirm.
I've confirmed the model and details of the harmony 1310 I'm looking at.
Almost have to take your chances online if you really want something.
May have to take another trip to the big shop in Nashville. Can't remember name but it's the popular big store there. They're pretty proud of everything in the store if you get my drift.
