This is the best sounding carved arch top guitar I've played and I've played a bunch of great ones.  This one is a fully carved Bourgeois A-500 17" wide acoustic guitar.  It has a Carved European Spruce top and a crazy high flamed figured carved maple back with a flamed maple neck and sides.  This guitar is really a work of art.  Collings is charging $25k for this package now a days.  Bourgeois stopped making Archtop guitars in 2009 but if they still did today I'm sure they would be in a similar price range.

This one is an ultra light and responsive arch top that hangs with the best Benedetto, Campellone arch tops I've played.  It has the original arch top case.  The guitar is in near mint condition with no issues.  1 3/4" nut width.  No pickup.
