Next is my 1957 X-375B. What an axe! This monster is capable of anything!

Rich, that looks amazing. I'm a sucker for spruce tops on a fully hollow archtop. Even laminated it has a lively character that laminated maple just doesn't seem to get close to. With the Franz piskups I'll bet that instrument is a true joy to play.

When you go guitar shopping, you don’t mess around! Again, I gotta say it looks like new. You must be one happy camper.

Rich - you are really on a roll with your Guilds and Epiphones! I wish you lots of good playing time (and hope you can still pay the rent :>)

As I said in another response, I sold off five of my Guild flat tops, all of which were no slouchers, and kept my favorite, a Nashville "Finesse" model flat top. And, as GAD has remarked, arch tops, when they are built right, can compete with flat tops in genres across the board.
