FRESH FISH #14
Gold Standard 17-inch Archtop
Serial #355
SOLD

The Gold Standard model combines traditional archtop construction with innovative styling. A major element of the design is a 14 carat gold wire running intermittently from the peghead to the tailpiece. The wire forms a border between black ebony and Macassar ebony, creating an image of a wave running vertically through the guitar. The bold white binding contrasts a subtle GoldTone coloring under high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. The combination of German spruce with German maple results in a very warm, open sound.
