  • 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.

Great sunblock.
Set name: Stick - 0.5 oz.
Love this stuff. It’s the only sunscreen that doesn’t sting my eyes. It works really well. It goes a long way. Lil dab will do ya. Maybe I use too much each application. I live in Florida and put it on my arms and face everyday. It does leave white smudges, smears and handprints on things.

Fabulous product! Made my skin feel soft!
Set name: Tube - 5 oz.
This product goes on smooth and a little goes a long way. I used it today for the first time and was very pleased that it held up to my sweating in the heat doing farm work! It doesn’t bother my very sensitive skin, in fact it is quite soothing. A little goes a long way. With about a quarter size amount I was able to do both arms and my face. I was outside for several hours and didn’t burn like I usually do. It is basically unscented which is nice and isn’t sticky.

Great for very sensitive skin!
Set name: Tube - 3 oz.
Use this every day. It's my primer. Lol I have extremely sensitive skin to the point where one wrong move lands me in the ER. This worked for me. Slight greasiness but works well for me as I can't wear foundation. This at least hydrates and protects. Love it.
