I have spent a beautiful couple of days with a very special instrument - The B51-A model by Virgile Pilon of Blind Guitars in France. Just look at that!
Archtop guitars with flat backs are pretty rare but they have been a massive influence on a lot of acoustic luthiers such as the legendary Stefan Sobell. This guitar features quilted movingui on the back and sides and a European spruce top with a very D'Aquisto macassar ebony scratchplate. Tasty!
Here it is in action - I hope you enjoy it! If so then please drop me a super thanks!
