2006 Victor Baker 17″ Archtop, Flamed Maple/Sitka Spruce
2006 must have been a good year for Victor Baker, if this 17 inch archtop is any evidence. Gorgeous tonewoods, dressed up with striking Snakewood appointments, capped with a Kent Armstrong hand wound humbucker. The back and sides are 5A tight flamed Maple, pairing up with a carved Sitka Spruce top, and Maple body bindings. The tailpiece is a combination of brass frame with a removable (via magnets) Snakewood top plate—simply pop the plate and swap your strings! Volume and tone knobs at the (also) Snakewood pickguard, which matches up with the (also also) Snakewood carved bridge. The neck is a super stable multiply laminated Maple number with flattened C neck.
