D'Angelico Archtops

[RicFreak]

Any jazzbox lovers out there?
D'Angelico is now more affordable.

Older archtops used to go between 20k to 30k USD. Now .....1.3K USD...which is comparable to Peerless archtops. Wondering if they come from same Korean factory ???
Gonna get one soon

Hehe, I've always had this soft spot for quality archtops...... but their prices are a big turn off.
Have tried Ibanez artcores, Peerless and waiting for a custom from the Netherlands. (see Heeres Custom Guitars). Nothing compared to your Schroeder. Waited for more than a year now.

Before we plan a Korea trip, must first learn all these binary codes : Ol 7l= Ol 7l= lOl 7l=

Holi Cow! That Berlin ASP Richard building is yours?
How did you hear abt Heeres? When I grow up, I want to be like you can?

Hahahahaha......when we BOTH grow up, we should start trading BOSS decals.
Richard is a great guy to deal with. One of the best archtop luthiers I've come across with very unique designs.
See the resemblance? Berlin ASP & Ric 330MG

I was searching for a Ric Jazzbo. But seemed quite impossible to find one now as RIC has ceased production for that model.
While searching the www, came across ADAM: the Association of Dutch Archtop Makers and the rest is history. I am in no hurry to play the Berlin ASP. The one Richard is making has specs according to my request. So.....its worth the wait . btw, placed order in 2008.

Wah! even longer wait than my Schroeder!!! Scary man!!!

Archtops not quite my thing yet. Still trying to settle the solid body carved top craving. Will want an ES339 in the future... Damn... Wait for the Schroeder to finish first.

Congrats D'Freak, that is a real beauty!
From the photos already look like a masterpiece in the making,
I'm in fainting mode... blood pressure level drop, time to go and look for A.S.A.M(Spanish ver.) hehe
