Yamaha SA2200

That guitar was available here for $3200. I said everyone makes their choices. My money is on a brand new guitar rather than a 40 year old guitar. I’ve personally owned a 77 ES175. And that guitar...

Greco FA vs Archtop Tribute AT

Well, it’s all good. I mean, if popularity was the real goal we’d be playing popular styles of music. The vast majority of people who hear jazz don’t really get it at all. The rest, less than 10% (if...

The Archtop Project

Give me someone who doesn’t break laws, and grift his way through another presidency. Entertainer? I can do without it.

Why would there ever be a resurgence if archtops continue to be painted into a corner as "jazz boxes" (is there any other main music stream where players disdain their instruments to the point of...

Will archtops ever see a resurgence in popularity?

I agree completely wolflen, he certain could. LR can play the classics with the best of them as well as any other genre. He's extremely versatile to type the least.
