We strive to price our instruments as competitively as possible in order to give our customers the best possible value for their dollar. And as a guitarist myself I would never sell an instrument that didn’t live up to my own high standards and expectations.

All of our instruments are thoroughly inspected, tested, professionally set up, and carefully packed for shipment. And all instruments are sold with our 72 hour satisfaction guarantee.

We encourage you to call us for the best price possible. We routinely have demos, closeouts, blemishes, and used instruments available for purchase. And if you happen to find a lower price please let us know.

And please keep in mind that it’s difficult comparing various instruments on the Internet. Since many of our guitars come standard with upgraded woods and tone controls shopping by price alone won’t tell the whole story.

Since our inventory changes so frequently it’s best to call us to find all of your available options. With over 500 archtops in stock you can be assured that we have unbelievable guitars to fit any budget.

SKU: McKerrihan-16. Category: .

Glen McKerrihan made high quality archtop guitars in Arizona from the mid – 1990’s to the mid-2000’s. This 16 without f holes is the perfect gigging archtop.

Product Description

This McKerrihan 16″  is for those who want a gigging, workingman’s electric archtop guitar with all the attributes of a carved top but without the feedback. This extraordinary instrument combines an aged solid blue spruce master grade tap tuned and carved top with beautiful figured maple sides and back. The guitar features deluxe bindings and purflings throughout, ebony bridge and tailpiece , pickguard and headstock front and back lamination and ebony fingerboard.

What sets this guitar apart from the myriad of other designs that attempt to curb feedback on an archtop is that although the guitar is completely hollow with no internal block, there are no holes cut into the top. This practically eliminates feedback at almost any volume while retaining a surprisingly loud acoustic volume and vibrating top and back. This guitar was built in 2001 by master luthier Glen McKerrihan of Phoenix Arizona (www.mckerrihanguitars.com) and if newly commissioned would cost over $8,500 today, but this one can be yours for approximately 1/2 of that. This guitar measures 16” X 3” deep and features a 1 3/4” bone nut width and 25” scale. It is fitted with a Gibson mounted  PAF Humbucker and sounds great plugged in.

Although it is in excellent overall condition, with only minor normal wear and slight impressions on the back, there are a few weather lacquer checks This is in the lacquer only and does not go through to the wood.. 

Deluxe TKL  case included.
