It absolutely amazes me how quickly M Campellone completes a batch of 6 archtop’s while others barely complete 1 archtop in the same amount of time. He must have a serious system while being fast and efficient. Considering his age we don’t see any slowdown. I find that astonishing!

Agree. I blinked while I pursued a few other things and I’m sure I have missed entire batches!

Klira Tone King?

No, those have a different look. This is a Glassl built as a Glassl, although he did a handful of these for Hopf as well, as shown below. This is one his very few "Gibson-style" acoustic carved-top guitars - most of his work is based on the designs of other West German builders. More importantly, this guitar is a total acoustic tone monster. Its vanishingly miniscule neck is undergoing the Charles Atlas treatment. Most importantly, Mark gets a kick out of it!

Wow. Lots of unusual (for Mark) inlays in this batch!
