Nishgaki Guitar Archtop

Nishgaki Guitars from Japan have that beautiful aesthetic that reminds me of natural harmony. The guitar here is the Style-N Arcus Archtop.  I love the finish which resembles an aged cello, and the flowing lines that touch upon traditional instruments but blend in the Tele horn shape with a longitudinal body shape reminiscent of a Les Paul. The contrasting fretboard binding, pickguard and tailpiece are superb in curly maple.  I can see some Sakashta influence in the design also.  This is an excellent example of the superb work coming out of Japan.
