My AF100 was bought used and was in 100% condition. It came with a case two bridges and several sets of strings. I think I know why it came with spare strings. The PO was trying to get more tone out of it.I have over a dozen archtops from top brands so I have a baseline to compare against, and while this one is a beauty and plays well, its sound is just so-so. At ~$1000 it's not cheap but also not too expensive so for players who want to round out their "tone cabinet" in guitars it's a decent choice. As an ONLY archtop to own?, I think if anyone bought the 100/105 it will eventually be replaced by a Gibson or Heritage, or they may go the route of changing PUPs around to try and squeeze more tone / sound from it.
