guitar archtop bridges
What is the best archtop guitar (manufacturer and model) for less than $ 2,000?
I know, I know Benedetto carved 17 "wide, 3" thick, 25 bridge neck, dried for 30 years, etc. would be better, but I'm on a budget for an archtop. I am also receiving an electrical usual, but a metal, fusion, rock, power outages by traditional jazz.
If you check the calendar of eBay here you will find tons archtop. I always thought http://instruments.shop.ebay.com/Guitar-/3858/i.html?_nkw=archtop+guitar&_catref=1&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282 the best way to buy time, get a better guitar for your money. I like the idea of buying American if you can, Heritage was a good suggestion. At the same time, a little guitar Useful Asia. Many guitarists such as Eastman "hand" Made in China. I did some research and Japanese guitars. Result some have done in the 1970s and 80s were surprisingly good for money. In 1980, Japan made Ibanez guitars are quite acceptable. I just bought a factory 1986 Matsumoko "Westone Session II, which is a copy of EN 175 on eBay for $ 465 with shipping. I installed an elderly couple pills Bartollini 1980 in it, the sound is as good or better than any Gibson, and I had a Super 62 400 per year (if kept!). The neck is almost as good, but the radio is 9.5 "as a Fender, which is a bit odd for a jazz club. Fast play and clean, and I can change the radio, the next time I make a radio job. This guitar has become rare, but which is a division of the murderer! So take a look on eBay to see what and how much things cost. Then, you can search Google guitar and know what people think. Harmony Central reviews can be very useful. Indeed, solid spruce top guitars are really fancy. However, laminate guitar Maple the ES175 or 335 of its big game and, perhaps with a little less than valuation issues. Again, and you have to get used him. Amp placement makes a big difference, sometimes pointing to the neck using the speaker. Otherwise, you might have to get used to his memory stamp of thumb 6th string when not playing. But they seem so worth it!
