    I wanted to share some pics of my new Archtop from caro y Topete, directly from Mexico to Spain, still hasn't arrived so I can only imagine or have a very narrow idea of how it sounds like. There is a video on Youtube but it doesn't do it justice imo. There was a post of this same guitar model a few years back by a guy who requested a very different setup and there isn't a lot of info online apart from their website so I wanted to share a light on them.

    Here it is:

    On such a modern design (that I really like) I would hope for compensated saddle and nut.

    Very cool. How about a picture of the whole thing.

    Very nice, look forward to a sound review. Is there a way to adjust string height built in?

    I would imagine you'd have to use some combination of sanding and shims.

    From the pictures I don't think there's a way to do it, I hope there's a way that doesn't involve sanding the bridge or changing it completely.

    Looks like you can sand or shim the bridge saddle, so probably no need to touch the actual bridge. Nice guitar
