Here is a statment from Stephen about his Carve-Top guitars: "This is a Carve Top guitar for the discerning musician who wants everything done right. If you are sick and tired of factory guitars with mediocre Maple on questionable Mahogany with boorish machine carving, this is the guitar for you.Gorgeous, light weight, fast and tonally responsive; step up to the plate with the big boys and hit a home run with a Marchione Carve-Top.My original design features the sophisticated carving patterns that I use on my Archtops. All the hardware is proprietary Marchione designed, like on the Neck-through, and this guitar has a great track record. I've built them for Mark Knopffler, Vernon Reid, and John Abercrombie all of whom have cut CD's with them.This model gives you the best ringing sounds and feel of a bolt-on while maintaining the full tonal spectrum of a 50s burst, only with better woods. This guitar is perfectly intonated and delivered ready for your next gig or recording session." The instrument is being offered at $4900.00 with hard shell case. The carve top new retails for $6500 (without case)! This is truly an exceptional opportunity to own an amazing instrument at savings of $1600 without having to wait over a year for a new one!
