[NGD] Custom Archtop by Stephen Holst
Almost 18 months to the day, my custom Holst archtop has arrived. And it's everything I could want in a guitar: size, color, shape, feel, sound, weight, etc. Steve and I worked hand-in-hand (email-to-email?) to create the exact specs. His suggestions and advice were invaluable when it came to things I knew too little about. Everything - and I mean everything - was spec'd to the finest detail. From the binding, to the sound port, to the Swiss spruce top and flamed maple back & sides, to the pickup type & placement, finish, etc.
It's strung with Thomastik-Infeld George Benson GR112s, and is smooth and tasty, even unplugged! Well, you all want pics, so here goes...    With my 652ce Builder's Edition and GS Mini-e Koa for comparison's sake:

Congratulations! Beautiful guitar!
Is yours a solid top and back or one of his laminated guitars? I have a K200, 16 inch lower bout, laminated top and back plates, Kent Armstrong hand wound pickup and K&K Pure Sound transducer. I ordered the guitar when Steve started making his own laminated plates. I've really enjoyed my Holst over the years. Hope you will enjoy your new guitar for many years to come.
