I'm pleased to introduce Mark Whitfield's new signature Marchione 15" Archtop.
She's a fully Acoustic/Electric carved Archtop guitar with a floating pickup and all premium solid wood construction.
The back is European Flamed Maple and the Top is European Alpine Spruce. The 25.5" scale length neck is American Sugar Maple and the finish is Nitrocellulose Lacquer. All fittings, binding and the fingerboard are African Ebony and the pickup is a hand wound, very warm, full output Humbucker. For increased durability and on stage reliability the 15" Archtop also features Stainless Steel Fretwire, locking Sperzel Tuners and Schaller Strap Locks.
I designed this guitar in conjunction with Mark for his ongoing touring with Chris Botti as well as his upcoming tour with Sting.
The guitar is very lightweight at 5 pounds and is designed to be extremely comfortable and musical on stage.
The guitar is voiced for a rich amplified tone without being overly sensitive to feedback from stage monitors while still projecting a strong acoustic voice.
