Archtop Guitars
All Phoenix Guitar Company archtop guitars are hand carved from the finest materials. They are available in 14", 15", 16", and 17" models.
16" Archtop
Shown is a 16" archtop, with a single piece of redwood for the top, with sides and back of quilted mahogany (also a single piece back). The guitar has bindings (and a bevel) of macassar ebony, and macassar ebony is used for the bridge, pickguard, tailpiece, and f-hole bindings. The pickup is from Kent Armstrong, and the volume and tone controls are stealth controls, mounted under the pickguard.
17" Archtop
