Archtop design - an interesting twist
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c4/0e...78902ce934.jpg
It's by Maxwell Custom Guitars, in New Zealand. Here's a link to an article with lots more pictures. Intriguing design. https://www.designboom.com/design/ma...gn-12-12-2018/

I love the design aesthetic, adding sound ports in that manner. The bridge is going to have a ton of downforce on the stop, and equally upforce where the strings attach. With no bracing inside, I wonder how long before the top is a nice S-shape...

Benedetto
Looks interesting but, consider a Benedetto, to this day it absolutely the greatest archtop ever made.

Benedettos are wonderful guitars, but they are not the be-all and end-all. |
