Any condition? I have an old Harmony archtop in serious need of repairs. Top is coming loose around edge, neck angle needs correction, etc.

Did you look at archtop.com? They have a high end selection if your budget allows

Why are limiting your choice to USA built arch tops?
I have a couple of Samick arch tops and they are nothing to sneeze at.

It’s Canadian, but did you ever look at a Godin Fifth Avenue?

I have a round hole, Kay archtop from the 30s. I got it in parts and had it rebuilt per original specs, though I did add graphite to the neck for strength, thinking i could play it lap style if I didn't like it Spanish-style.
The neck is wider than I thought it would be and the scale is longer than I really like, so I'd be willing to pay with it. Message/email me if you're interested and I'll send more photos.
Edit: new fretboard (and frets) with fret markers on the side. No pickguard. |

I have an early to mid 1950’s Gibson L-48 in sunburst. If you have interest let me know and I’ll get some pictures. It plays great looks great and sounds great.
Thanks.

Don't know about the Fifth Avenues, but there are a bunch of Godin's made in the USA of Canadian components. The Godin is a lot of guitar for the money wherever it's made.
