Hi Hugh,
I started with a Breedlove Atlas, which was a decent quality guitar, $750 or so, and still play it frequently. I use it for my travel guitar and for friends if we're getting together and need an extra instrument. Concert size with a fast, e…

- Hi Jim,
No, no relation to Dana Clark. Except for rare shows with "Blue Feather, Dunalp and Henke" everything I do is solo.
For about the next year I'll be mainly playing Northeast OH quite a bit. I am headed West in a week and a half for shows in IL, MO and KS.
My most up to date shedule info is at www.myspace.com/brianhenkeguitar . I also have a "regular" site but, since I can't add to it myself yet it's usually not so up to date.

Hi Jim, I'm still here and as busy as every working on my web site archtopguitarsandbooks.com I have gone international with my books but mostly for other countries other than the U.S. I am also working on my unusual archtop parts page at the moment and hope to have more things on there soon. Guitars sales are moving along quite well considering the recession. I picked up and old white Nardan from the sixties (not original but it looks a million dollars and better looking than a white Falcon) It has a V neck like some of the early ovations, which really surprised me, but it does not bother me but I know it would bother others. Anyway, I have uploaded a photo ans hope it works. Speak to you soon.

- James - Thanks for your comment! My archtop is an Ibanez AF120. It's an older model that had the same pickups as the Benson model but a lower price tag. Unfortunately it's no longer in production; it was a good mid-price guitar and was much better than the current Artcore line Ibanez is pushing,

- James I've played Breedlove guitars, though I'm a Martin fanatic. The also make incredible mandolins, which I'm looking into now. The Breedloves do have a huge bass presence, and that's what I like.

Pete Swanson said… - James!
Just start bulding and make all the mistakes you can - that is the best way to learn. I have never built a traditional guitar and have only been building for about 2 years. This is my first year out as a full time luthier and I have been bestowed the honour of exhibiting at the years Montreal guitar show!!!
My very first guitar was an archtop and it turned out great. If you go to my website www.dagmarcustomguitars.com you will see the second guitar I built.
If your interest is strong enough then you will be amazed at how quickly you can learn. There is no better reward, in the world of woodworking, then making a guitar!!!
Take care,
Pete
