Duke Robillard

My new archtop guitar built by James Murphy is absolutely everything I could possibly want in an archtop guitar. James went over every detail with me all along the way while building it and it is a work of art as well as an amazing sounding and playing guitar. The neck, patterned after a 1940s Epiphone neck, is the essence of playing ease with it's soft V shape. It's tone is warm and full with the right amount of highs to cut as an acoustic archtop guitar needs to. It is the ultimate combination of Classic old school vintage and contemporary sleek design. Truly the best of both worlds and the only archtop I really will ever need. It's the guitar I've dreamed about but never found until now. Now fitted with a 60s DeArmond model 1100 rhythm chief it is the most pure sounding archtop I have ever owned. And I've owned a LOT of archtops including Strombergs and DeAngelicos!
