This is a beautiful light-rose colored archtop guitar. Both top and back are hand-carved to violin-craft standards. A Seymour-Duncan S6 Humbucker with dual-tone/volume control and lower right bout pick-up is included with this guitar.

This full bodied archtop guitar is detailed in Ebony and Walnut trim. The headstock is hand-carved and detailed with a beautiful rose shell inlay. The fingerboard is detailed with pewter inlay position markers in the traditional MRKArtistry layout. This beautiful guitar is handcrafted using a "AAA" quality Sitka Spruce bearclaw top. The back, sides, and neck are all crafted using "AAA" quality highly flamed Maple. The nitro lacquer varnish finish was hand rubbed and polished to a high luster using 12 coats of finish. Old-world luthierie techniques were used for crafting this instrument. That includes hand carving the top and back plates and old-school voicing techniques used by top-quality instrument builders. The arch is high for enhanced sound performance.
