Nice archtop grouping

That’s a sight to quicken the blood! What non- guitarists (wives) don’t get is how different each one is; thus the necessity of acquiring, well, as many as possible.
Beautiful photo.

With one pickup I'm guessing it doesn't offer as many sonic options as your multi-pickup models, but that Artist Award in the middle is SO classy looking!

Well, there are archtops, then there are archtops. There's quite a sonic difference between an archtop that has a floating pickup (Artist Award) and say, one that has two humbuckers (eg. X-700). I can attest to that, having three, an A-500, AA and X-700. Though the X-700 has its top beautifully carved, nevertheless, the cuttings for the pups do lessen the acoustic resonance of the top. However, the versatility of the X-700 creates tones and effects that the AA isn't capable of, unless you use peddles with it. Both are lovable for different reasons.

I notice a refurbished Leslie in the background! Use it much?
Do you use the internal amp (solid state or tube) or drive it with one of the amps?
