How about a nice Archtop II?

Wow! That is scorching hot.

Wow! That is scorching hot.

I like it. It's a far different animal than the 594 HBs I've posted already. Good to have all of them.

Ooft! Hawt.

My first HBII piezo just arrived. Still very much in the honeymoon phase :-D

It’s ALIVE like no other… what a different experience playing this!

I already posted pictures of this 97 Archtop a page ago but didn't think they looked very clear. They were taken at night and zoomed in a little too much. A little natural light makes the pics a little better and now you can see the back.

It looks great how they sprayed around the F-holes in that top. Really adds a different touch to the finish.

F-hole burst

F-hole burst

I almost typed sound hole for that reason, but it didn’t come out any better. Maybe I could add a Trini Lopez and get all high class… Diamond f-holes!

1997?

1997?

Yep. It's one of the prototypes from November of 1997. If there is a difference between mine and the actual production model, I'm not aware of it.
