Have a look at this beautiful archtop in L-5 style made by Ari-Jukka Luomaranta, AJL guitars from Finland.
Blond flamed maple body with a floating pick-up and a hidden volume control (try to see if you can find it;)
It's almost as loud acoustically as a gypsy guitar..
I'll bring this one to Samois if you want to have a closer look at it
Best Regards

Beautiful guitar! My guess is that the volume control is hidden under the edge of the pickguard. If I'm correct do I win a prize?

Will AJL have a stand at Samois this year?
To answers Caleb's question:
AJL will be starting making archtops on regular basis and the guitar on the picture is my signature L-5 model. This one will be pretty expensive to order because of the flamed maple but AJL will also be taking orders for similar looking archtops made of other woods.
Best regards

Just kidding! It's a great looking guitar.
