Moonstone KOA #4811

PALEN ARCHTOPS are among the finest archtop guitars ever built. The Palen Archtop is an “X” braced traditional instrument, descendent from the D’Aquisto school of instruments- very light and acoustic. It features a hand carved and graduated top and back, slightly thicker than many typical archtop guitars, with a very resonant and acoustic tone.

Moonstone Mahogany

If Steve Helgeson (Moonstone Owner) is still building his guitars with as much attention to detail as he used to, then I imagine that the M80 will be an excellent guitar.

the sound – not for vi8ntage blues tones – but sophisticated Alembic type fusion and jazz sounds. I liken it to a Stanley Clarke sound in a guitar.

the bridge pickup has an insane amount of gain.
