It’s a small world

Welcome to TreasureNet from Southern California. How small is the world? I built an archtop guitar in Nazareth at the Church of Art.

As I had mentioned in another post my wife is from Nazareth PA.and went to Nazareth HS it’s a shame how much they have developed in that whole area I used to love going up that way when I first met her

Thank you for the kind words. No just a California boy with the desire to build a few quality instruments. So I went to Nazareth to meet up with a builder and put together an archtop guitar.
It was such a beautiful area and one of my top experiences. Love Nazareth.

Good Luck and Welcome to T-Net from Northern Virginia!

The top of the guitar (where the bridge is located) is carved into an arch, much like the top of a violin.
That is where this style of the guitar gets its name, Archtop Guitar.
Yes. I did have an awesome tour through the factory and Chris Martin came down to where we were building the archtop and I was fortunate to get a pic of myself with him.
