Dig it! Archtops. Tell me what y'all know. NOW NGD!

You should try a trestle braced Gretsch 6120, one with the tone circuit, not a Hot Rod model, so you can get a "normal" wet blanket jazz sound, if needed.
You can def turn those up with a big band.
 
Ok. I need to sell some stuff now :embarrassed:

1971 Guild X-500b. Virtually brand new with the original case. I'll do an NGD thread with pics of the store and the story when I get home tonight. Essentially Mrs W is the coolest wife ever.

Ok....I had seen this store open up a couple of months ago but never got around to checking it out....since the kids were at grandmas this afternoon we figured I would swing on by and check it out if it was open. I was pretty amazed at the selection they had of amps, guitars, and pedals. some other collectible stuff like skateboards in there too. Yesterday I had a crappy experience at GC and walked out without buying anything so I figured I was out of the market for a while. I played some of the Gibsons (a Charlie Christian, a couple of 335's and a 347) before trying the Guild that was behind the counter. THAT was the one out of every guitar I've played in the past year or so of looking at archtops. it plays great, was in better shape than anything else other than a few scrapes over the strings and sounds lively. Mrs Wein convinced me (as she did 14 years ago with my Les Paul) that I should just buy it since I need the instrument, can't find anything else usable at a lower pricepoint and we can always use one more tax deduction for the year :)p).

Here are some pics of the rest of the store:

I've been gassing for a bluesbird, t100 thinline, or starfire for several years. You're not really helping, Mark!

Of course that LP jr hanging on the wall would work, too...
