Product Description
- This Elferink Excalibur 18″ has the most stunning rare Quilted Maple back and sides that we have ever seen on any of the thousands of archtops coming through our shop. It almost appears to be back lighted in the way it shines!
- The Elferink Excalibur is considered the benchmark archtop guitar like the old D’Angelco’s, Strombergs and Gibson L5 en super 400s. Fancy inlays, multiple celluloid bindings and highest grade solid hand carved and tuned spruce top and maple back makes the Exclibur one of the most impressive guitars from my range. Even its re issue DeArmond suspended pickup has been designed to mount to the pickguard—keeping the top free and clean for superior tonality. The Excalibur is completely hand built ensuring an inimitable instrument of the highest caliber.Excellent Blonde 18″ Venetian Cutaway LOUD – Really loud Archtop for comping

- After careful scrutiny – It is beautiful and in excellent condition except for very faint longitudinal lacquer cracks parallel to the grain, on the top that are only slightly noticeable (shown in the last 2 photos).

It has some small impressions on the back, and one mark that appears to go thru the lacquer. It has a full and wide neck.
