The Starlight Archtop

BASE PRICE: $5,800.00

The Starlight Archtop is a 14″ Hollowed out Electric Guitar that offers a big sound in a smaller size. By hollowing out the cavity this guitar has a decent amount of acoustic sound. Great for working out your arrangements or practicing when you don’t want to or can’t be plugged in. Hotels, Apartments, Late night practice sessions when the family is asleep or anywhere you can’t be plugged in you can still hear yourself play without amplification. Choice of Sapele or Honduras Mahogany for the Body, Sitka Spruce or Flame Maple for the top, one or two pickups, Wooden or Stop Tailpiece, Inlays or no Inlays, Pickguard or no Pickguard, 6 or 7 Strings; plenty of choices to tailor this guitar to suit your needs. The Deadbolt Neck Joint of my own design gives superior strength and sustain of a Neck Thru Body design with the convenience of a bolt on neck. The joint is a Mortise and Tenon with only 2 bolts instead of the standard 4 and the heel is contoured for ease of playability on the upper frets and genuine overall comfort. The F-holes give it that Archtop look and feel and my Signature pickups let you dial in whatever tone you need for whatever music you need to play.
