SOLD - Andersen Stringed Instruments Oval Hole Archtop - Hollowbody Archtop Acoustic Guitar

This guitar is an archtop with a warmer sound than the traditional design. The oval soundhole gives the guitar more sustain than the f-hole top. It has the projection and power of a great archtop, with the harmonic complexity and sustain more common to the flattop. This makes the guitar very versatile whether played with a flatpick or fingertips, fast or slow, loud or soft.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"Andersen archtops also impress us with how responsive and lively they are. The entire box vibrate fully with each chord. This Oval Hole design really makes this guitar behave as much like a flattop as an archtop. The attack of the archtop remains but the resonance and sustain are more like a flattop. It has a full acoustic tone that so good you'll never yearn to plug in. If you're looking for a super versatile, modern archtop, scroll back up and look and listen to this sweet axe." - Paul Heumiller

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
