WHAT IS AN ARCHTOP?

The name ARCHTOP STRATEGIC is rooted in my 

hobby as a player and maker of musical instruments.  

In the Jazz world, archtop guitars are some of the 

most finely crafted instruments available. Fine 

archtops are masterpieces and highly individual in terms of the tone and character of their sound.

While playing with a small group one evening, my own modest but solid archtop was encountering some challenges due to the heat on stage throwing off its ability to play in tune. It needed constant attention to ensure I could coax out its best tone. At one point

I thought, "you are reminding me of some of my clients."  

The rest is history.
