I went into the guitar shop today and played two archtops for the first time.
They were both Epiphones, I didn't feel right going after a higher end Gretsch or Gibson, I just wanted to get the feel of these.
What a trip.
These felt diiferent that what I was anticipating. Very comfortable, good action on both.
The first was the ES-175, the other was a Joe Pass Emperor II

I can definately see one of these types in my near future.
