looking for an archtop...

[12bar]

Cooool! Great sound (and playing) - that's a true gem. Made for slide!

[12bar]

... she leads me to suit a slide and it's not so often ;-)

Doesn't sound so - you seem to enjoy it!
It has a bit of a resonator sound in it - really perfect for that purpose.

Wow that sounds great, both, the guitar and the playing.
Must be a joy to play that sweet intrument !

[vancouverois]

Monsieur, she sounds so good!
It seems like you found a real gem, congrats!
Hope to ear more blues from this lady

[MichaelRobinson]

Wow ..... You know how to handle a lady, and the lady knows how to respond. Fantastic playing. So good blues I've heard in a long time. You have a talent for this, that is for sure..........

Nice! I have played an old L-1 like this before. They are sweet guitars for the blues and fingerstyle.
I have an old round hole archtop, not quite as old, or valuable, but pretty cool... a 1932 Melody King. It is a great fingerstyle guitar, and very bright and loud.

The question arises. How do you afford such rarities? Is it the search for the perfect sound that will make you pay?
Do not invite thieves into the house. I may sound paranoid, and I think a lot about safety and how dangerous it is one thing or another is. Believe me. They are quick to steal what they want. Add for chrissakes them into the safe when you are not using them! . A gun cabinet may be enough to deter the thief from trying to get into the cabinet. Nice guitarrs that's rare should be taken care off, right.

@MR
Cost much less than a brand new Martin EC Model! (a bit over priced IMHO ;-))
Cost less than a brand new Gibson L0 Keb Mo Signature!

Thieves and robbers? Tell them to come over me with a big mojo and John the Concheroo too...
I've got a black bone and a mojo too and you know I'm him, everybody knows I'm him

I told you !! I'm PARANOID or I care about you. Who knows..........
