This is not just another Archtop but a Andy Manson Archtop, made of very old reclaimed solid Mahogany and noble German spruce, every instrument made by Andy is considered a rare and great sounding instrument, and this one is no exception, I have been a great admirer of Andy Manson for many years, his Artistry and guitar Philosophy is unique, and his guitars are among the finest on the planet.

Many of his Clients know this, and that's why his list of famous clients is probably sort of endless, A few names on that list, Andy Summers (Police) Jimmy Page & John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) Ian Anderson and for instant Don Felder (Eagles) to name but a few. Yes,  I'm very glad Andy decided to make me a dealer, after suggesting this to him over and over for many years!.

This Archtop is truly amazing, Andy only used of the most noble woods with carved German spruce top, Ancient Brazilian mahogany for back and sides, and neck, Ancient Brazilian (reclaimed) Rosewood for the fingerboard and  bridge providing mass to the tone. The masterly made tailpiece, headstock fascia, heel cap and end splice are made of beautiful grained walnut. Green marble is uncommonly used for nut and Saddle providing the right brightness, this guitar and the tone is a composition of woods and other materials made by a great artisan Luthier. Like every Andy Manson, the guitar is exceptional low weight of only 1.7kg (3.75LBS) that is completely in line with the comfortable feel and grip and the truly heavenly playability.

We love providing the market with Guitars that are rare and made by unique passionate Artisans like Andy Manson. This unique archtop is a true player. It looks amazing on display for those looking for a true collectors piece, but also out-performs the great majority of archtops in its price range. It's not lacquered in the common way, but varnished with open structure oil varnish, that provides maximum of tone, even higher up the frets. This guitar is made by a magician for a truly demanding player. The tone is bold, and the level of acoustic projection is simply unbeatable. Amplified, the Kent Armstrong pickup combined to ancient woods and noble German spruce top performs impressively. Included with this guitar is a High level Hiscox Artist case, Andy's specs-list is pictured below.

*This guitar is build by a Man that build his first guitar in 1967, and gained great fame among accomplished guitar players. Getting older Andy moved from England to the more inspiring climate of Portugal. Since Andy mostly was stuck on that Island called 'Great Britain' perhaps not all that many reading this advertising heard about Andy Manson and his famous history before, Andy isn't really the man to market his career but i'm quite sure you hae seen his guitars on the great stages of the world or on TV, perhaps you seen Jimmy Page playing his famous three-neck guitar-mandolin on stage - or you seen his famous 'Mermaid', seen Mike Oldfield perform with one of his guitars.  Believe me he's one of very few truly gifted guitar-making-magicians on this planet and this guitar will speak to you in a better way then my thousand words will.   Includes 21% BTW/VAT/MwSt (Fully deductible to the non European Community inhabitants).
