    Hey How's it going,

    Looking for an archtop with a 1 3/4 nut. would like a heritage 575, Benedetto, Victor Baker, Unger, Schaefer, Borys or any other American made archtop.
    I've had Eastman's for years and just looking for something a little different.

    Thanks

    There's a heritage in Ottawa Ont. 2012 Heritage Sweet 16 Electric Arch Top ES-175 | Guitars | Ottawa | Kijiji

    And Vinny1k would sell the Borys for $6K. . How a Borys tailpiece SHOULD look

    Check out the Napolitano that Woody posted (as a public service announcement)!

    Also, I'm assuming you're looking for used, not new, and you have a hefty budget (given the examples you offered), right?

    Happy hunting!

    The slightly silly Heritage ad is in Canadian dollars. Price in US dollars is @5,700-5,800, depending on the exchange rate.

    I've been thinking of letting go of my 2011 Sadowsky Jim Hall guitar.
    It's in excellent condition with no issues - I just haven't really played for a couple of years now...
    Message me if you're interested.

    I have a Daniel slaman Johnny smith for sale at £3400 its up for sale on here and has a 1/34 nut

    Looks nice but your our in England. Don’t think shipping an Archtop overseas is a good idea.

    Where are you located? I have an Andersen Streamline with a 1 & 3/4" nut that I got on Reverb a while ago, but the the neck is too wide and deep for me, what with my arthritic thumb. Would prefer not to ship this time of year ...

    what’s the string spacing at the bridge?

  17. #16
    Preferably a 16 but id consider a 17. And doesn't matter. Either solid or laminate.

    The Andersen is 17" at the lower bout, solid woods. String spacing at the bridge I measure at 2 & 3/32".

    I have a Heritage H-575 Custom I intend to sell soon. PM if interested.

    P.S. I'm new here, first post. Have great feedback on Reverb, and have a little history over on AGF.

    I'm sure you must've seen this Dale Unger. Looks interesting to me.

    And I'm just inches from selling this Lehmann, if you might be interested. Bought it about 5 years ago from you know who. I like it a lot but just took delivery of a new one and must make room.

    Do you know about https://www.12fret.com? It's a place in Toronto that a few members in the states have bought from with success. And remember, prices in Canadian mostly. $3K US is a bit north of $4K Canadian.

    I saw that Dale Unger. Looks nice but i was looking to stay under 16 inches. and want something with a built in humbucker. Send me pics and info on your lehmann.

    'this Lehmann' in my post is a link to archtop.com's page about my guitar, which I got from them. Just click that. Plenty of pics and spec. He keeps all his old listings under previously sold.

    Unfortunately it's a floating KA PAF. Well... not really unfortunate as it sounds pretty great. Maybe not your cup of tea though. I need to have some fret work done before I sell it. It's had a lot of play.

    Feel free to message me if you want to go further down this road.
