Re: WTB: Cheap archtop

I was thinking of this, Max. Do you know why this model is less
desirable (and a cheaper retail price)?

Which color/finish did you get? It seems like they are low on the
naturals.

Thanks for the suggestion,
Erik

I'm in the market for a used cheap (but quality) archtop. I'm
thinking along the lines of the Korean Corts (Coryell, Beck), Samicks,
or Epiphones.

If you have something you're willing to part with send me an e-mail.

D"Angelico still have some Excel EXS-1DHs - everything else is sold
out. I've bought two of this particular model, and kept one because
it's an excellent guitar at wholesale price, $800. You won't do better
for tone and playability for lesss than twice that.

Thanks,
