  • Comments: "When you play this archtop acoustically it is extremely responsive and full sounding. That's the sign of a great archtop. When you plug it in it just gets better, big, full and rich sounding. The playability is nothing short of amazing, Mario's attention to detail is unsurpassed. He truly loves his craft and you can feel it on every fret of the guitar. I would put this guitar next to the very finest archtops in the world. " - Paul Heumiller
