15" Archtop custom build
Hi everyone. This is my latest build. It’s a 15” archtop. It is all hand carved/shaped with a Sitka Spruce top (thanks Brent from Alaska Specialty Woods), Mahogany back and sides (one piece back), flame Maple bindings, Rosewood fretboard, Mahogany neck, and Tasmanian Tiger Myrtle Headstock veneer. There are two pickups, the neck pickup is a Kent Armstrong Slimbucker and the modified bridge has a Rich Barbera transducer saddle. The Barbera produces an amazing acoustic guitar sound and the Armstrong a great jazz through to blues sound. It is wired with two volumes only. The Barbera has such a good output that you can blend the two without needing a preamp driving it. I used the Schaller thumb wheels for the pots. Spray is Nitro. I’m calling the colour a blood burst.
