Default Watching Ken Parker Archtoppery

I've been binge-watching Ken Parker's vids on how he builds archtops. Fascinating. He's certainly got a different take on the whole archtop idea. Blew my mind to see him use West Epoxy as a sealer coat.

Ken is a brilliant guy, and has never been trapped in the box.

The proof is in the pudding.

I have been a fan of Ken and his seminars from years ago. he is the master of archtops and his knowledge is unmatched. he always offers the truth without subliminal marketing. I can listen to him for hours. my first "real" guitar was an archtop some 42 years ago, even though i was studying classical...archtops are the most romantic of guitars, imo.
