Arch de Lutan "Elite" - Price $12,000
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.
