To over simplify, archtops have these basic parameters (the values for JP / D'A in parens) after each) Lower bout width (16" / 17") Body depth (2.75" / 3") Scale length (24.75" / 25.5") Top...
You have a great guitar. I don't use mine half enough. Here is a great video with a 55 which I believe is stock. Good tone and good player. https://youtu.be/5OpfWZmQTCs?si=T-nfrNUWJfvwWSd8
Thinking more about playing slow and fast and how they are not just a matter of higher metronome settings. Something you can play slowly that are very hard to ever play fast. Playing fast requires...
I apologize if I sounded like it was a competition. I was only stating how so many cite Leo Fender and Ted McCarthy, but do not know about or acknowledge Paul Bigsby. As far as who invented the solid...
I lean towards the sound of set pickups, so my gut instinct would be to go with the JP, but those have never been my favorite. The D'Angelicos are quite nice and that's a pretty good price. ...

True. As one who struggles to play even moderately fast, I've learned that playing fast is a different kind of playing than playing slow. If I choose a fingering and picking pattern at, say, 140,...
Thanks for the responses! At this point, I’m going to keep it as it is. This is the BEST guitar I have ever played, it’s perfect, beautifully resonant, with the high ends like a flat top, to go with...
Ha! True that on my photo. Now if the guitar in your link is ostentatious rubbish, I am a edel kitsch fan. It resembles art deco on steroids. Good stuff.
The guitar in your illustration has a flat back. Wouldn't the "pressure point" be less with an arched back?
I don’t like the shape of the original but much prefer celluloid over black plastic for a nice guitar. The new one is interesting but I don’t think it is right for the guitar. I see the reference...
