Archtops with higher fret access

[pingu]

1148284[/URL]]The PM2 also has pretty good upper fret access. Used you could find one around 700 euro I think.
You won't find a PM100 under 1400 I'm afraid. On average they go for 1800-2200

thanks for the info
but i really want about a 17th fret body join the PM2 has a 14th fret join

I expect I’ll have to save up for a
beater Pm100

... was [the Ibanez AMH90] loud enough acoustically to
practice without an amp late at night ?

Even a Stratocaster is loud enough acoustically to practice without an amp late at night. It's pretty quiet late at night. The AMH90 is louder acoustically than a Stratocaster. It's not going to sound like Segovia at Carnegie Hall.

Yes, is the answer to your question.

And if it's not loud enough to suit you, get a headphone amp and some closed-back headphones. The Zoom G1 Four, among many others, will do the job.

Some Ibanez hollow bodies are 15 fretters cutaway. Prices from low to high.
