August 19, 2016 By
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.
Moonstone Mahogany
August 19, 2016 By
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.
