Andy Manson / Archtop / Guitar

This Archtop has a compact, uniquely shaped body that makes the guitar play great and even sound unique. The sides and hand-carved back are built of unprecedentedly beautiful flamed maple and the top, which is also hand-carved, is made of European spruce. The neck and bridge are the same flamed maple which makes a harmonious whole. The guitar has not been lacquered but instead it has a plant based hand rubbed Tung oil finish which really brings out the depth of the wood and also allows the wood to resonate and breathe. The bindings, fretboard, unique pickguard, tailpiece and headstock overlay are crafted out of ebony which contrasts the beautiful maple so the beauty really comes forward. Every angle of this guitar reveals another well thought out detail of Manson’s impressive cratmanship. For example the floating fretboard and pickup, the hand carved heel and how the volute meets the ebony overlay on the back of the peghead. The complete hide glue constructed, unbleached bone saddle and nut and profound care that was given in the crafting of each detail contribute to the unique voice of this instrument. It is the first archtop from the hands of Andy Manson that comes through our shop, but enchanting as it is, we hope it will not be the last. Comes with a luxurious Ameritage case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
