You’re killing me!

Funny I thought someone should just sell small blocks of very flamed and quilted wood finished in various stains and sunbursts.
Wait a minute PRS does that,Lol!

I didn’t post my Campellone because I knew it couldn’t compete with Vinny’s amazing examples. But, it’s beautiful never the less. I love the dark cherry burst especially.

Ok, here goes:

When I first got this, somebody said it looked like a pimped-up Impala. I didn't really know what that meant until I saw the TV show Supernatural, and realised it meant it was *awesome*.

I have yet to see a Campellone that wasn’t beautiful.
50 years from now guitar players will wish they had one like we wish for a real D’Angelico.

I only buy ugly duckling guitars, insurance adjusters undervalue them and no one wants to steal them.

I’m going to try to stick with one. While there are others that I find incredibly beautiful, I think I’m going to go with this one on pure aesthetics. The woods are incredible (although not my personal favorite figuring pattern) and it was all just done so well.

I saw and played one at a guitar show and was absolutely floored. The aesthetics, the look, components, everything was perfect. It was easily the best playing archtop I've ever played. I've never been able to confirm this, but I'm wondering that due to the on-board electronics, and lack of the usually required pickup clearance, Gibson could have / may have been able to reduce the height of the neck joint and therefore lower the height of the fingerboard above the top. ( Am I correct or not ? ) I just got scared because those are 18 in.
But I'm happy for you that you own one, and that it's in good hands ! Sure wish they'd have made one 17 in., but who am I kidding - I never heard about these until they were long out of production.

Had this made in 2022 by a couple guys in an old farmhouse
in the woods in Devon, England. Alpine spruce over English walnut - short
scale, 1-13/16" nut width, ebony trim, Waverly machine heads.
Fingerpicking dream guitar.

So funny, I almost started a thread last week called "Show Us Your Backsides"!

But I thought I'd get laughed off the forum.
