BLUE LINE ARCHTOP GUITAR

This 16" carved archtop is the working musician's dream. A smaller body size, reduced depth, and shorter scale length (24.75") make it easier to transport while allowing for hours of comfortable play. This clear and precise acoustic archtop is the perfect choice for working professionals and weekend strummers alike.

"My guitar is the best investment I've ever made. It is not only the most beautiful guitar I've ever heard, it is also stunningly beautiful for the eyes, as well. Dan and I actually built the guitar together – this is the way he works – I was involved in every step of the process. The guitar is EXACTLY what I wanted. If you were to divide the time and quality of pleasure gained from owning a handmade guitar of this quality you'd realize how incredibly inexpensive it actually is." - Kevin Mahoney
