The "Maple Cream" Archtop Guitar

Custom Hand Crafted Right-Handed Archtop Guitar

This is a hand carved, custom made 17" Archtop guitar named "Maple Cream".  It's name comes from the generous amount of flamed maple used for the back, sides and  binding.

It is hand carved and tuned for the maximum sound of the AAA grade Sitka Spruce and Bigleaf Maple tonewood.  All appointments use Quilted Sapele.  It has 6-ply binding made of Maple and Ebony. Leaf-shaped sound hole.   Natural Hide Glue used throughout with an Ultra-Gloss Waterborne Lacquer finish.   The acoustic sound of the guitar is loud, with a good bass response matched with ringing trebles.  Hardshell case included.
