That's very nice, but I already have an archtop that doesn't get used enough.


(1993 OM3H; 1993 D3H; Debanjo) 2008 D-42BaaaAs/b varnish; 1998 OO-42BaaA; 2002 OM-42BaaaAs/b; 2002 CJ-41BaaaAs/b; 2008 CJm/a ss s/b varnish; 2003 C-10DM; 2006 SJ2MV; 1988 17"ATs/b; 2004 MF-5Vbirdseye; and a few other wood, fibreglass and metal boxes.

very interesting, archtop, short scale, tuned in fifths? A guitar that is tuned in fifths, however, is no longer really a guitar, it's something else, i don't know what. A guitar is tuned in fourths except from between G and B where the interval is a third.

Um, the late great Carl Kress, who played with, among others, Eddie Lang, played a guitar-shaped thing tuned in fifths. For that matter, all of the many, many folks who use alternate tunings might be surprised that they aren't playing guitars. To look at it another way, the legendary guitarist Tommy Tedesco tuned the mandolin in fourths. Does that mean it wasn't a mandolin?
