This Moll Custom Instruments 16" Archtop dates back to 2003, and is a lovely example of the boutique guitars made in nearby in Springfield, MO. Featuring a fully carved body, including the spruce top and flame maple back and sides, this particular guitar is a cross between two models, making for a unique, custom instrument. Originally ordered as a customized "The Classic", this 16" archtop sports the bound fingerboard and body of the "Classic Custom," combined with the unboard F-holes and pickguard of the "The Classic."
Bill Moll's guitars were saught after by high-end players including John and Bucky Pizzarelli, Bill Bay, and numerous others. Members of our staff have first hand experience with Molls' build process and attention to detail, and this archtop is an excellent example of the craftsmanship and quality from Mr. Moll's shop.
Here in Excellent Condition, with a few minor finish sinks and minimal fretwear, this archtop includes a custom made W.E. Moll flight case.
