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!
-
Agreed-he's very well organized.

Binding work

His binding and inlay work is absolutely outstanding. The Cameo headstock is a pure work of art. I'm really surprised he even lets us into his world to see the build process going so far as to take time to thoroughly answer questions from lowly forum members, another unique aspect of Mike's personality and craft. Generous with his time! Batch is looking great as always. Blessings Mr. Campellone and you too Vinny!!!! Originally Posted by vinnyv1k

I know, but I can’t believe how quick and efficient he is! He knocks out 6 archtop’s in no time! Originally Posted by Max405

Now this is the photo I've been waiting for! An astute observer should be able to infer the direction that my guitar is headed. Originally Posted by vinnyv1k

Neck progress and the body is a Hammertone project.

Klira Tone King?

I thought it was wider than a 17” and yet not quite an 18.” Originally Posted by Hammertone

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