One of the top builders around Bill Moll http://www.mollcustominstruments.com No not just because he is the boss, but because he is one of the finest. I may be predjudiced, but get to see, hear and occasion strum them. Don't get better. He can do anything want done.

Toot toot! I make them too, although mine are a bit more 'classical' than some. Brad Nickerson is another name that comes to mind.

I feel so slighted gaah

A good place to check in New Jersey is Guitars 'N Jazz http://www.gbase.com/Powered/GearList.a ... hBar=False

Guitars n Jazz is a dealer for Palen Archtops. Nelson Palen is an OLF member and posts on occassion here. George Benson purchased a Palen when Nelson was just starting out. I believe Brad Goodman has also sold archtops through Guitars N Jazz as well.

Thanks for the help.
