Let's see your big girls/boys ... those thikk Archtops and Jumbos etc

[Jo-]

Haven't had a fat bottomed girl thread around here for a while, so let see some of those big girls that you are hoarding.

I'll start with mine..
A 2005 Archtop IV... spruce top/artist maple back an brazzy board. This was apparently the last one to officially leave the factory when they were discontinued (and then I think they did a few more a couple years later, not sure, can't quite remember now. You know things with PRS are never final).

This one sounds like such a beast. I have it strung with 11's with plain G.

my second archtop is a 2001 Archtop II in teal black/10 tops
This one sounds beastly too, and it's got More Mojo than most (see back of headstock)
I currently have it strung with 12's with wound G

Signed by both Paul and Joe Knaggs ... yes this one has more mojo than all the others!!!

and lastly a Paul Jackson Jr JA-15

So let's see your thick ones.

That’s prob

Why did she get away? Did you treat her badly? Did you not love her and want to fondle her f-holes? Such sadness.

It was a moment of stupidity. Really, I was just thinning the herd.

I've just got one "big boy" (not including flat top acoustics): a Gretsch Brian Setzer Hot Rod, had it for many years. It's not my primary, but it's a nice "change of pace" once in awhile.

BTW- I can't see the pics in the OP. Some kind of error when I try to download them.

Here's one for you. (Image from an old ad before I bought 'er.) She's reeal thicc. I put 0.0105 strings on her right away, but wouldn't you know she's a bit less tense and more exciting with a regular ol' set of 0.010s. I played one @ Elderly this past year, too, that played great with some slinky-feeling strings on it.

I've posted pics of this guitar before, but I'm happy to trot it out again: 1999 Archtop II, now with 53/10 pickups that I installed years later. Bought in 2009 from our friend Serious Poo, who installed the blingy knobs.

This is not a 10-top, either. Just a regular old production guitar from that time.
