You won't wanna miss this one! 

Here for sale is an absolutely stunning example of a 1950s dimestore archtop. It looks BRAND NEW. This is one of my favorite guitars I have ever had, it is a great player. Maybe one of the best playing vintage archtop guitars I have ever held, and it looks like it just rolled off the show floor yestrerday. 

The action is super low and comfortable. The neck reminds me of some modern 1950s style jazzbox reissues I have played. There is no real damage to speak of -- this guitar is in stellar shape. The pickup sounds great, a kind of vintage warmth you can't get in a modern bar! The pickup is the classic Harmony "Hershey Bar" that I believe was made by DeArmond. 

I really can't think of a single downside on this guitar, but shoot me your questions if you have them. In all honesty, I am not really wanting to sell it. If I didn't have so much invested in it, I don't think that I would, so lowball offers will not be entertained on this listing. You are going to have to sweet talk me to get thing out of my mitts!

As always, I cleaned it up, polished the finish, lemon oiled the board, flushed the electronics, changed the strings and set the action as low as I could. This guitar is proudly strung with Stringjoy Custom Guitar Strings, made right here in Nashville, TN. This guitar comes with a modern hardshell case. I pack my guitars up tight and insure every package for the full sale amount, so you can buy with confidence.
