I could do without the inlay, but yeah...that is beautiful.

The inlay is a bit much but otherwise it's gorgeous

 

[CBHScott]

Drop the inlay and the Wrigley sign and it is gorgeous.

 

[Packerbacker]

I agree-very nice but drop the inlay

This.

Having been born in a Chicago suburb, I would love that, as is!

"CUBS WIN"

Proves that guitar is a fake

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

I'd play that if I lived in Chicago. Also, the Cubs should have a winning record this year. I expect them to contend in '16.

 

[B Valley]

Definitely too nice to play. I'd like to see what they do in something less fancy.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Yeah, if you lived in Chicago that might be alright. I actually like the body, though.

It looks like a very well made guitar, but it isn't something I would ever want to own.

 

[Muppet]

Guitars by Ethan Allen. Wonder how much it is for the sofa and loveseat to complement this.

 

[vintage clubber]

nice looking jazz box especially for anyone who loves the windy city. Not for me though...

Thanks for all your comments! Here is another Chicagoan that I did alongside the one above. No crazy inlay on this one Every guitar is a result of working closely with each client which always makes every guitar unique in its own way. You can check out more at KoentoppGuitars.com and the blog.

Beautiful guitars.

I think I'd be afraid to show up with the skyline one unless I was a first call jazz guy in Chicago.

That looks fantastic!

Needs a bridge pickup and a Floyd, though

@DKoentopp,

I grew up taking lessons from old jazzers and I have a deep love for big 17" archtops. Your pieces are absolutely beautiful. Next time I get out to LA I will give you a ring because I simply have to play one of these.
