Three models of the Arch de Lutan are available for order. They all incorporate 5-piece, hand-bent, hand-carved tops made from premium spruce tonewood.
The original de Lutan model with a 5-piece, bent wood top - in tribute to the historical, bent wood viol de gamba.
Options :
- 3-color Sunburst finish applied in traditional colors of yellow, red and a custom dark: $350
- Block fingerboard markers in pearl: $250
- Calton case upgrade: (Call for price)
- Other options can be discussed
This is the premier de Lutan model with both a 5-piece bent wood top plus a 5-piece bent wood back. The back is beautifully crafted in highly-figured, alternating hardwoods. This is a true one-of-a-kind instrument. The "Elite" is rare in beauty and appointments, and is limited in hand-production to only one guitar per year. It features exquisite detailing not seen on other Ellsberry archtop models.
Same as the "Elite" with the exception of added abalone shell binding throughout the guitar - front, back, fretboard and headstock.
Note: The first "Elite" will be premiered and available at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival in August 2007.
