Description

Stephen Marchione's 16 Inch Archtop is a complete instrument. Silk smooth playability, gorgeous tonewoods, and an expressive and dynamic acoustic voice that translates faithfully into amplified tone thanks to a custom collaboration between Stephen and DiMarzio. Maple body with Spruce top and Ebony tailpiece, bridge, and pickguard. Locking Sperzel tuners in black match up perfectly with the Ebony headplate, rendered in Marchione's trademark headstock shape. A slim 1 11/16" nut allows for deft lefthand work, and the relatively light build weight under six pounds makes this 16" archtop from 2003 exceedingly comfortable in hand.

Stephen Marchione is well loved and regarded as one of our premier luthiers and here's a great example of why. So sublime.
 
This beauty has all the benefits of having been played in and woken up. Great clarity across the strings, and individual notes have a sweet pop.
