Thanks for posting this. I was wondering about exactly this question lately (which is sort of silly since I don't even own an archtop).
Comparing the two, I like the sound of the original better....
Compared to the Reverb listing, my Terada-made Broadway Elitist has flame maple on the back and sides, octagonal white pointed knobs like early electric Epiphones, a tune-o-matic saddle, and the...
This is not for a guitar that has a regular round soundhole I presume?
