That's a neat take on an archtop. One of the (many) issues with those older models was that they tended to be ergonomically impractical. Sure, they had a sweet tone that guys like George Benson could be particularly expressive with. What most people aren't aware of is that guys like Benson had unusually huge hands featuring long, tapered fingers, so getting into the upper register of the neck (where the supple mids are located) wasn't an issue. But for the rest of us mere mortals, it required quite an effort. The cutaways on this Grodin model are similar to those of a Les Paul (almost).
It would be cool if it came with a 5 way switch, rather than a standard 3 way to fully exploit the possibilities of it's tones. Yet that is a mere quibble when you realize that you can actually sit comfortably and play the damned thing without needing to do a set of calisthenics first.
Nice choice.
