Recommend a "couch" archtop for me

[Paulie2]

Hope it suits you Paulie. If not, let me know. I may want one again.

Thanks Paddy, I will certainly let you know! Now the vicious wait of looking at tracking hourly.

I thought Harmonys were solid wood but pressed, not carved ( ? ).....

Many of the Cremona models were carved tops. Patricians were mostly pressed, although I read somewhere that some years they were carved, not sure it this is true.

But.... can you even play jazz on a strat (couch)?

Thanks to everyone for the help and weighing, the guitar finally arrived last night. I only got to spend an hour or so with it, but I think it will be what I was looking for!! I will do a proper NGD post and review after some more time with it. I feel like this could be a sleeper archtop at a cheap price point.

Heres a bad picture with the couch in question:
