Here's a special favorite of mine.......
An Epiphone Blackstone archtop....... This one has a 16" body..........

Heeey -- the Blackstone ended up with you!! Good going chum! I saw/played that guitar in '95 or '96 when Arie brought it to a studio where we were recording, but I hesitated. When I looked for it shortly after, wala na! Nice to see it ended up with you.
Lovely old archtop. Doc A. did good work on it. If I remember correctly, it's got some fretwork done on it, a new nut, and a repaired/refashioned bridge among other things. Very cool guitar with a lot of mojo.
