"The only think that I think could be better are the dots on the side of the neck. "
Godin finishes over the side dots, giving them that dark look. You can clean them up with just a little lacquer thinner on a Q-tip. |

Very nice!
What material is the top? Carved or bent? I should know more about these guitars but don't...now 1950 Kays and Harmonys, I know about them. <g> Ken C.

I can't resist, since this is an archtop thread, Christmas, or Hanukah in my case, came a few days early this year. Photos of my Collings Archtop, wife is the model http://www.flickr.com/photos/14520418@N03/

However, I have a couple of acoustic archtops with pickups and I don't always play plugged in, and I was told by a jazz musician I liked that for the best combination of plugged in or acoustic, to use T-I Jazz BeBop strings. These are round-wound nickel. I like these a lot and they do sound good both ways. I heard some really great guitar work in the French Quarter in New Orleans last week and the guitarist was playing a beat up Kay, ply top, but the neck had been reset. He had light bronze on it and he didn't know where the pickup came from but it was definitely a magnectic pickup and not made for bronze. There are so many ways of getting wonderful music from these things...it just takes the right sort of guy. I generally play straight bar chords on my acoustic arch tops -- and then I become 18 again and back playing in a south Texas honky-tonk -- that was advertised as a VFW hall. Ain't guitars wonderful!
