Scharpach Archtop Guitars - THE VIENNA ARCHTOP GUITAR

The Vienna is made for the most passionate Archtop lover, player and collector. The architectural purity of the design gives the guitar a clean shape giving it the very essence of its sound. All of the custom archtop guitars’ design details enhance the beauty and the basic shape of the guitar. The proportions are perfectly balanced to create an outstandingly dynamic and powerful elegance.

The Vienna uses exclusive unique hardware, such as a hand-engraved tailpiece, tuning covers, and solid silver tuning knobs all of which are gold-plated. The woods used for this fine archtop are taken from old stock, for example, from the former old stock of Artur Lang.

The most recent, adapted version of the Vienna Archtop has a hand-engraved design on all the hardware. Furthermore, the headstock thickness has been reduced by about 2 to 3 mm to create an even more elegant and slimmer headstock.

OUR COLLECTION OF CUSTOM GUITARS

Over the many years of striving for full client satisfaction and dedication to the craft of building the best archtop guitars, Scharpach guitars has built up a wide array of archtop guitar designs. Below you can see some of Theo Scharpach’s most recent creations.

 

 

ARCHTOP GUITARS: WOOD CHOICES

For most Archtops, Scharpach uses woods that were bought from the widow of Artur Lang way back in 1985.

Artur Lang was a well-known German guitar maker living in Garmisch Partenkirchen, Germany, who died in 1975. Although some of the woods may have minor visual flaws, it is acoustically far superior to any fresh woods, due to its extreme age. The rough pre-cut tops sound like a bell. They have probably been drying in storage in Lang's workshop for more than 40 years. This means the wood is now close to 80 years old. This special batch of wood combined with detail oriented and precise creation is what gives Scharpach guitars such a vastly superior and characteristic sound.

 

 

LEFT HANDED ARCHTOP GUITARS

Of course it is also possible to request a bespoke Scharpach instrument as a left-handed guitar. The process of designing and creating a left handed archtop is very similar to the creation of a right handed model. Through 40-years of dedicated work in creating fine custom guitars, Theo Scharpach makes it possible to take all your personal preferences and wishes to build your ultimate left-handed dream guitar. Besides creating left-handed electric archtops, it is of course also possible to create a left-handed acoustic archtop guitar.
