Adjusting Instrument Tone with a Different Bridge

[neatomic]

While there are exceptions, seems that most of the acoustic archtops that are extremely everything are at a price point where they were well and completely tuned by their custom makers. I'm thinking of the Loar's, Yunzhi's, Wu's, and Eastman's out there that are decent acoustic instruments at a price point that invites tinkering. Part of the fun. Thanks for your posts. Lots of interesting insights.

it all starts with the wood used...tonewise and aesthetically..many usa/euro luthiers are extremely involved, learned, particular & opinionated when it comes to the the selection of their wood...apparently not equally so, yet, from the asian producers mentioned above ^

cheers

Would be nice to have a few new US factory acoustic archtops to play with. But they are rarely seen and never affordable. I can only judge by my guitars. Several of which are pretty good acoustic instruments. Certainly worth tinkering with.

BTW.. thanks for your posts. You seem to have a lot of experience/insights into these topics.
