A few small body Archtops I recently finished

[S.Lombardozzi]

Hey Everyone, here is a few recent builds I finished up recently. One 13.5" double cutaway archtop and two 15.5" archtops. The two 15.5" are maple with sitka spruce tops. one one has a mahogany neck (1 3/4" nut) and the other 5 piece maple with carbon fiber reinforcements (1 11/16th). Both body's are 2.5" deep. The 13.5" archtop is 1 7/8 deep and has a curly Sapele back and sides, Sitka top and is fitted with Kent Armstrong 57 Humbuckers. Thanks for looking!

I'm pretty attached to the overly simple beat-up headstock on my
basket-case J-35... but it is fun to see some of the classy headstocks
that show up around here ...

The 15.5" look beautiful (and I bet sound equally beautiful) though I'll bet I couldn't afford them. Only design issue I see might be the points on the headstock which would be subject to chipping by a less than careful owner. Very nice work indeed.

Flamed maple is spot on.
