2011 Austin Clark 17AT Archtop Guitar

This is a 2011 Austin Clark 17AT Archtop Guitar.  Known primarily as builder of mandolin-family instruments, Austin has also made a handful of excellent archtop guitars, one of which we have here.   The 17AT is a 17" archtop, it features a hand-rubbed oil varnish and French polish sunburst finish over an x-braced Adirondack spruce top, with flame maple back and sides.   

The installed floating Kent Armstrong humbucking pickup is wired directly to the output jack, with no volume or tone controls.   It includes the largest Cedar Creek HSC we here at BBGB have ever seen.
