So nice to have these in stock! Great for reproducing a late Django sound or playing more modern repertoire...

Now that you're carrying archtops, do you plan on expanding your string/pick selection? Would be great to have one place to purchase all of my accessories!

MichaelHorowitz

@JSanta I already have loads of regular jazz picks but will probably add some strings for archtop guitars as well. thanks!

JSanta

@Michael Horowitz valid point! I only use the Dunlop Jazztones for my archtop right now, but I should do some investigating on what you have in 2mm picks before I get new strings.

@MichaelHorowitz - Tempter. I've been looking for a reason to trade off my ASAT. The 403 looks like a good enough reason.

@Jim Kaznosky - if you need a reason to unload your Bumgarner, talk to me....

Big fan of Eastman guitars @Jim Kaznosky. My archtop right now is a 7 string 805. The 403 models are fantastic values. The 403 is my favorite in their laminate line.

@bopster - I'm hanging onto the Bumgarner as it is really something special and it was built for me. I don't want to hijack the thread, but Craig's build times (from the last time I spoke with him at DiJ) are reasonable, as are his prices especially for the quality of instrument I received. Now if you're interested in an ASAT Special, we might have something to talk about.
@JSanta - Excellent to hear. I have to move gear to purchase gear, so this is on my radar, especially as someone looking for a decent jazz box.

@Jim Kaznosky - I'm the same way, I have a very small stable of instruments; when I want something new it needs to replace something outgoing.
