I was at the Austin vintage guitar store and played a few archtop when I saw an Artist Award catch my eye and I never knew an archtop can be as loud as a dreadnaught. Granted the only ones I owned were low rent Kay’s and a 40’s Vega with a thick top and heavily braced to combat feedback at the expense of acoustic projection so maybe I never got to hear what a archtop can sound like. I damn near walked out with a Gibson made Cromwell archtop, somehow I stayed strong and didn’t do that.
