What is the guitar in this video please?

Pretty decent close-up at min: 1:54, but I cannot make out the script on the headstock!
Thanks!

I'm thinking a Bougeois archtop.

There aren't any current archtop models on their website, but they could still be special orders.

Home | Bourgeois Guitars

They're best known for their flattops.

The video thumbnail is a different guitar and could be a Campellone

Thanks-It's probably one of these, a Bourgeois A-350:

I can't find a trace of evidence on their website that they have anything to do with archtops. It's not even mentioned in the "Options" section. Yet their archtop models exist in the wild.
I guess they are not that interested in the archtop market.

I’ve owned the A-350. That’s what it is. They aren’t real common. First time I’ve ever seen one being gigged.

Bourgeois ceased making them about 2011 or so.

Pretty decent sounding guitar, the A-350 IMHO!
Not interested in one-just never heard of them!

They’re exquisitely built. KA floater, fabulous nitro, a very nice sounding archtop plugged in, while it’s acoustic voice is extremely pleasing. it’s 16 3/4” wide. The A-500 is more commonly seen because it’s the same guitar with bling. Generally sells near $5k

Bourgeois is a rock star in the flattop world, and his builds are highly praised.

I sold mine for $3400 back in 2013.

And you had paid $2400 for it off Craigslist...
