Alexander Polyakov Instruments Archtop guitar #13 Stromberg G1 model 2023 - Gloss

I started to build new model of archtop guitars and this is the first one! 17" Acoustic archtop guitar. The top made of 2 thin (1.5 mm) layers of spruce which are formed and glued together in special mould using vacuum pressing, no heat or moisture were used to form the top, so the wood stays undamaged what is important for sound qualities of the top. The top has a ladder bracing, similar to one Stromberg used in his instruments. See picture in photos. I also recreated the tailpiece and Stromberg's bridge construction. This guitar has loud strong sound perfect for acoustic playing and some floating pickup can be easily installed if needed. This is a humanitarian listing! 5% of the money earned will be donated to ukrainian refugees help fund.
