Description
This guitar design arose from conversations I had with Bill Frisell concerning a guitar he could travel with. Since building the first “Little Archie” for Bill in 1996, I’ve found the appeal of a small, easily carried archtop to be wider than I had expected. The lower bout is 14?, and the body depth 2? or 2.5?. Yet the guitar is “full-sized” in the areas that really count: Scale length, neck size and shape, and bridge and soundboard design. Because I consider this a professional or performer’s guitar, a “floating” magnetic pickup is included. The “Little Archie” sounds incredible plugged in, and is surprisingly resistant to feedback.
Standard features:
Engelmann Spruce soundboard 2? or 2.5? body depth 14? body width 24.9? or 25.4? Scale length Waverly tuners Lollar Johnny Smith pickup Nickel plated Deco style tailpiece Includes a custom-made gig bag Price $8,500
