Bill Comins’s masterfully made archtops and this is a pretty unique one. The Chester Avenue is the Comins top of the line model and is most often seen with a 17-inch lower bout. This one was obviously custom made as a small body version, measuring just 14 3/8 inches at the lower bout. It also has a thinner body, measuring 2.2 inches at the side. That makes this an ideal archtop for those of smaller stature or shoulder issues that make a larger guitar harder to play.
Guild A 500 Archtop Jazz Guitar Blonde Archtop Guitar
May 23, 2026 By
The best archtop guitars were made in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Guild A 500, and A350 archtops were among the finest and had that great vintage tone that you just can’t find in new guitars today. This A500 has a beautifully flamed C shape comfortable neck that I can only describe as “rock Maple”with a nut width pf 1.70″ and 2.06″ at the 12th fret with string spacing at the bridge of 52.76” which is wider than mostly all Guild A500 archtops.
