  • Here's a description of Oskar Graf's approach to crafting archtop guitars, in his own words.

Just like with my other instruments I mainly use hand tools in the building of the archtops. Using gauges and finger planes to carve the top and back gives me the freedom and flexibility in shaping the arching and contours of the plates. This slow and careful approach allows me to optimize the acoustic quality and balance it with the amplified sound of the hand carved archtop guitar.

Since initially I used Bob Benedetto's book to guide me, my starting point has been the traditional shape and size of the archtop guitar. Of course being a designer at heart, I re-worked the shape and appearance just a little bit, slimming down the bulbous S-curve of the cutaway and adding my own headstock and F-hole designs.

I avoid using the white plastic bindings, preferring Macassar ebony to create a contrasting framing for the blonde curly maple back and sides. In keeping with this simple elegance, I leave the fingerboard unadorned. The tailpiece is sculptured out of ebony and attached solidly to the body by a brass bracket. The string pull-through design makes string changes fast and convenient. All the other fittings are also made from ebony.

My standard pick-up is a floating Kent Armstrong Humbucker with adjustable pole-pieces. Unobtrusive, but easily reached and adjusted, mini wheel pots for volume and tone control are fitted underneath the ebony finger rest.

Quality valet tray, darker brown
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
Sizing is as described and it is sturdy and well-made, but color is not quite as shown in the product images, more of a darker brown.

Absolute Gamechanger
Color: *Black
I went from casually dropping everything onto my nightstand in it’s designated spot to actually being able to store things neatly. The organization is insanely satisfying on top of just looking better than a bunch of loose items on a table. The size is quite large but you should know what you are getting. This tray offers a ton of storage for both small and large pocketable items. I even have a bit of extra room for my glasses or future EDC. Build quality is insanely solid and I have no qualms with how it functions. Worth the money.

Almost Great
Color: *Black
This is a better-quality night-table/desktop organizer with enough space to put most of your EDC or pocket items, including cell phones, chargers and even some jewelry. Definitely better than most others and worth the price. The only reason it didn't get a fifth star was the placement/ergonomics of the charges/wires. there are two (2) holes for wires for phones. There are more than enough spaces for phones, and other devices. The holes are just too small for more than 1 or 2 wires. not enough room. There is a great cut out on the size for pens, and another area for jewelry or cuff links. well thought out - but again, a tad small for today's user. Overall, well made, looks nice, can fit almost everything
