I am the proud owner of this arch top guitar for about a month now and I am thrilled with it .I don't what to put it down (except to stare at it ,it is beautiful) the carved top makes a" resonant " sound that is different from flat tops. this guitar plays great right out of the box ,the setup was right on the money. I have added finger rest to it and,it looks great. I have played out with it a few times so far and have received many complements on both its looks and sound. I have used it on everything from jazz ,rock&roll,and blue grass etc. It adds a dimension that works well with all types of music . yes I am happy with this guitar. yes!
