White Archtops

[Captain Caravelle]

The black one is the bomb!
Very nice!

Very apealing guitars! Johnny A would kinda like these...

That's what I thought, too. I think the Bigsby works well with the sorta extreme (in a good way) look of all white. Maybe it's not ideal for straight ahead playing, but I'd love to find room in my rack someday for a Bigsby-equipped archtop. Like a Johnny A or a Tennessean.

And yeah...the f-holes on the blackie real nail it!! So often if I see non-standard f-hole shapes that don't quite cut it, at least to my eye. These look elegant, modern, and still extremely graceful.

Thank you! I designed those f~holes with a more Jazz theme, in mind. Maybe just a bit refined for modern aesthetic. I don't use them a lot. When I do, they seem to really blend in well.

Are the rims 3 inches or that 2.75 like Heritage do?

2-3/8" & 2-3/4". Side width can be anything, within reason. Just a matter of measuring the side wood & cutting it to width. I don't usually go "much" over 3" or under 2". Hand carves are a bit deeper than most laminate plates.
