Photo Finals! Model 14 archtop guitar for Mike Bravos

Here’s a cool archtop guitar that I initially made to have as an inventory offering. Mike Bravos was visiting NYC and by chance I was just finishing it up. He decided to scoop it up after playing it for a while. The guitar has some really special bearclaw spruce for the soundboard that I had for many years. Full of super crazy figure and interesting grain anomalies. Really amazing patterns emerged after the stain was applied- looks super earthy like an old instrument would. I want these finishes to look like an old upright bass. These are definitely my favorite for the archtop!! I tried out a new F-hole design on this one too and I really like them.
