Caro Y Topete Guitar

[Jim Soloway]

What a unique and attractive guitar!

Is the top
a) Flat, curve is photo artifact
b) Carved
c) Steamed
d) Dry-bent over curved braces
e) Something else

Curved but not as much as a typical archtop. The builders don't speak English and my Spanish is what my wife and I refer to as "El mono si habla" ("Yes, the monkey speaks") so it's difficult to get past the basic information but I would guess that it's dry bent over curved braces. It's certainly thin enough to have done that.

I don’t see the jack? In the tailpiece?

In the strap button below the tailpiece.

Lovely looking guitar. Extra points for the unbound fingerboard.

I like unbound fingerboards much better also.

Personally - I would never ride in a 110 degree bus just to break in new strings ( lol ).

The Guitar in the picture has that ultra modern look ..
Very beautiful like ' Playable Modern Art.....

Amazing value if it sounds as good as it looks.
