[@TeacherAn]

Great job!

[@zwitchguitars]

Thanks! It Was a really fun project

[@borgonianevolution]

Great work on repairing this and bringing it back to life. Cant wait to hear it play more then a single teaser strum hahah.

[@zwitchguitars]

Im out of practice! Both on my Freddie Green playing and on 13 flatwound strings 😳

@@zwitchguitars Wonder what that would sound like with Catgut strings. Bet the tone changes to a more deep mellow sound.

[@markpayne2930]

Does the bridge get glued on and if so what type of glue?

[@zwitchguitars]

No, archtops have a “floating” bridge, held in place by only strong tension. Occasionally, you’ll see people put double-stick tape to fasten it in place

Still for sale?

[@zwitchguitars]

It’s not, it went pretty quickly on Reverb
