Finally, I've gotten around to photographing my "new" archtops. Let's start out with the Guild Artist Award: a 1966 Hoboken version, in really great condition.

I thought the same thing when I got mine, but the simple truth is that it's a guitar. Just because it looks like a jazz box (which it is) doesn't mean you have to sit and comp chords with a swing band or solo like George Benson (I wish!). I've been playing a sort of altered version of Hotel California on mine and it just sings.

I wish there was a better word, but WOW! That’s stunning. Looks brand new. Good job on the photos, too.
This must be awesome arch tops day, first the ‘47 Epi, now this. Enjoy it in good health.

I'm with you Gary. This axe has a way of making me sound better than I am. LOL. But she does excel in the jazz style.

Dennis,
I can't take credit for the first three photos. They are from Jazznguitars.com website from where I purchased the AA. It is the actual guitar. Lou, the owner of Jazznguitars said that the tone of this AA is the best he's ever had in his collection.

Yes, but you broke even due to the fine for the truss rod cover violation.
