I was sitting here noticing the large number of Artist Awards that are for sale either on ebay or via other avenues. Got a question for all of you in the know. I have owned a number of Artist Awards over the years, and frankly believe that it is one of the nicest archtops out there in the history of gorgeous archtops. The problem that I always had was the large body size of the guitar. I would develop a problem with my right arm starting to kind of go 'numb' after playing the guitar for a decent period of time. Never had this problem with any of my other archtops over the years. Don't have an AA any longer because of this issue. Comments? jim in Maine
