Default My other newest archtop build

Apologies in advance if I continue to screw up the pictures.

This one is sinker curly redwood over birdseye maple. Headstock shape was inspired by a Matsuda guitar, sound hole pays homage to Ken Parker, modified X-braced. Tone is very strong in the bass for an archtop, even tuned down to D-D, and clear balanced highs. Body shape is my "Moderne" style, an asymmetric cutaway, 16" lower bout. Slightly wide neck at 1.85 nut width.
