To handle that need, Suhr has created the Suhr Custom Archtop. It provides the great playability... [Read more]

You get all those smooth sounds you’d expect from a flametop with a more focused midrange and a clearer treble response. The Sensei HB-FM is a very versatile instrument, but thanks to its thin body, it’s much lighter than many comparable guitars. The guitar has a body made from solid... [Read more]
