Wow, that was great Michael! That is the best sounding archtop I have ever heard on a recording!

Very nice!

Thank you very much Glenn! It's a wonderful guitar and will make its new owner (sadly not me) very happy indeed!

IMO a good 18" archtop is the ultimate guitar, and your vid is the proof positive...
