Quality Laminate with Natural Archtop Sound

Price: $4500

Description: "L-17" Laminate Archtop

A great sounding guitar, even unplugged - very woody and acoustic, and has considerable volume unplugged. Shows that a laminate archtop doesn't have to play second fiddle to a carved instrument.

This is a 17-inch, handmade, laminate archtop constructed from layers of instrument-grade veneers of spruce (top) and maples (sides and back). The veneers for tops and backs are molded and pressed into shape at my California shop - NOT purchased as plywood plates. The top is made from master-grade spruce, and the back is constructed with veneers of maple, highly figured on the outside.

Features include:

• 17" wide body; 2.75" depth; Venetian (rounded) cutaway
• 1-3/4" neck (at nut) width; 21 frets
• 25" scale
• Multi-piece neck
• Bookmatched, master grade woods on outside
• Black body binding
• Translucent natural or honey blonde finish (sunburst as option)
• In-body pickup with side-mounted jack plug-in
• No fingerboard inlay, in keeping with overall clean look of guitar (fingerboard inlay optional)
• Hard, plush-lined case included
• Options can be discussed
