About fifteen years ago, I made my first acoustic guitar, and it was an archtop. It came out OK. Then I made another, and it was a disaster. I switched to flat tops, starting with a kit, and learned a lot over the years.

A few months ago, I started another archtop. What a world of difference. I've been taking it pretty slow -- in between other projects. But it reminds me of going back to the neighborhood you lived in as a kid and now everything looks so much smaller.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this comes out.

I love archtops , if only for the look. Someday I'll give one a try.

Keep us posted
