If you have always wanted to build your own custom archtop guitar (left or right handed) why would you use newly cut inferior wood when you can build it from rare vintage tonewood? Or if you're a Luthier looking for aged rough carved Sitka Spruce tops and figured Maple backs and sides, you don't want to miss out on this rare once in a lifetime opportunity! We have a small limited supply of the wood sets left that was used to make 1940's Epiphone's. Hand carved by Epiphone and unassembled. Once their gone, that's it!
Set 1 measurements are as follows:
Spruce - 3/16 thickness, 13 upper bout, 17 3/4 lower bout, 21 1/8 length
Maple - 3/16 thickness, 13 upper bout, 17 3/4 lower bout, 21 3/16 length, 2 piece book match
We do not supply the neck, bracing, kerfling or anything else. That would be up to the buyer/builder to purchase. Those materials are still available through other suppliers.
The photo picturing the old newspaper stuck to the inside back is not a part of the set. It is our proof photo showing the approximate age of the wood when it was boxed up. Notice the 1946 Ford for sale on the classified ad.
