Moonstone KOA #4811
PALEN ARCHTOPS are among the finest archtop guitars ever built.

It features a hand carved and graduated top and back, slightly thicker than many typical archtop guitars, with a very resonant and acoustic tone.

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.
