Vintage Archtop Collection for sale in Paris

**Acoustic Standards** · 11-10-2025, 06:13 AM

Hey guys, i'm new to the forum but i love the amount of info out there.
I'm a nerd of the old vintage acoustic archtops, especially Gibson, Epiphone, Strombergs and D'Angelicos. I run a channel on youtube called Acoustic Standards in Paris in which i try to play as many as i can to show the difference in sound between brands and models etc. Most of the guitars from the channel are from friends, but i own a few, and have lately decided to sell part of the collection. The guitars can be played in Paris and if you're not around i can ship worldwide. Please make sure to listen to the clips with good headphones.

More pictures upon request, and if you search the channel you may find some more of each guitar to listen to. I love them all but as long as i can't turn into an octopuss yet i can play only one at a time. If you're looking for a cool archtop in Europe come check them up.

Cheers

Hey thanks !! mmm no i think i try to place the mikes more or less in the same position to get to hear the voices of the guitars and how different they can be

Is the microphone setup for the 1949 Epiphone Broadway different than the other recordings?

The 1949 Epiphone Broadway acoustic sound is fabulous.

I think it s a cool one that takes also very well the floating pickups. May have somer vintage DeArmond that goes well with it and may also sell if the buyer wants also electric possibilities.
