Man, that’s a gorgeous guitar. Since “discovering” the awesomeness of the PRS hollowbody designs, now I find myself wanting to check them all out. I guess now I have to add an Archtop to my dream list!

Sounds fantastic, Dale

It seems somehow fitting that the last thing I’ll ever do on this forum is be wrong!

Thanks for sharing your video demo!! I really enjoyed it. Well done!! Man..... I forgot about those Archtops. I remember trying one in late 90's or very early 2000's. I forgot how thick the body was and I remember them being rather light in weight. Great tone.
AHHHH I GASSING NOW!! "Honey I swear I wasn't going to buy another guitar but IT'S AN ARCHTOP !!!"

Hope she understands

Unholy carp, that's gorgeous. I mean, I saw the pictures of it, but there's something about moving it around in a motion pitcher that makes me feel like I'm seeing it in its true form, rather than just glamour shots.

And yeah, it sounds great -- love that Fender tone. The pickups have a perfect bananalance to them.

And I completely agree with the larger body -- it doesn't bother me at all. I have 2 Hollowbodies, several archtops, and even though I'm not orangutan arms, I just mentally adjust. The SC-J comes to mind, although it's large in a different dimension (super wide bout), but I love it.

thank you sir for checking this out! Also great to hear about your collection, wow, very sweet! I'd love to see a pic of one, or more, of your AT's. Totally get it if that's too much trouble but i'd love to hear if you have a fave?

Not so much too much trouble, as I just suck at taking pictures. I'll post if I work up the nerve, because the SC-J is gorgeous. Doesn't look at all like any of the ones you find on the net, because it's transparent black with a brass-colored Bigsby. And yes, I have favourite others, but they're...uh...other brands. Nothing fancy (Ibanez, Schecter Jazz 7, Gretsch), though.
