Yeah, don't place bids on Ebay after you've taken your Ambien either! I've done bad things!

Folks, I have little interest of knowledge of electric guitars, but I'm intrigued as to why this "item" is described as an archtop.
It is obviously not built to have any acoustic properties, so I would describe it as a Semi solid, or semi hollow, Am I wrong? To me an archtop would be something like this:

Very few acoustic archtops built any more, there is virtually always a pickup either built in or floating. Archtop lovers embrace everything from that full acoustic to the L5's with built in pickups, to the ES175's that are laminated, to the ES335's that have center blocks. Acoustic quality has nothing to do with "archtop" any longer, as a class definition. I draw the line at Les Pauls as archtops, though. I visited Benedetto's in April, they had exactly one pure acoustic instrument on the premises, the 50th Anniversary guitar. All guitars in the showroom and in the build process were electric. Made me a little sad, but they point out that their customers, by and large, are professional musicians who play out, and use electric guitars.
