The Premier

The Premier has been my main model for over a decade. It’s the quintessential modern archtop. Built off of the Benedetto dimensions that have become the custom archtop standard. This model is built as an acoustic instrument first and foremost. And with three different bracing styles to choose from, this model has a wide range of voicing possibilities. With X-bracing it can be voiced for that classic D’Angelico sound while parallel bracing can lean towards a late thirties Gibson L-5 sound and falcate bracing can go towards the sounds one would associate with lattice braced classical guitars.
