I have the Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin and just bought a Gretsch 5422 that I really like, and was also thinking the Gretsch might be a good option. There are many, of course, for sure! Her ears and fingers will be able to tell far better than any of us what's "best" for her.

What about one of those new pretend Epiphone archtops which have built in elecs and there might be one smaller than 16" - like the Masterbuilt Olympic ?

Generally, I try not to recommend awful instruments to people.

Gretsch New Yorker comes to mind. Amber Rubarth plays one. 25" scale and 1.75 " nut width
Guild Newark Savoy a-150 is a bit smaller. 24.75" scale and 1.67 nut. I agree with the trip to a "big box" strategy. |

Jeff, I know that they aren't "real" archtops, but the ones I tried were nice enough to play and sounded nice plugged in - I was somewhat bemused when my friend, a jazzer and I visited a shop to see these "acoustic" archtops and the sales guy set up a Roland cube for us.

Maybe a tenor guitar is the answer. Neko Case, for example.
