The Philadelphian is a 16" full hollowbody arched top electric guitar. The multi ply spruce top is highly resonant, and the back and sides are a beautiful flame maple. With a 2-3/4" depth and a floating humbucker, this is the perfect jazz guitar for those not wanting to spend a fortune for a quality jazz box. Enclosed gear, art-deco tuners, adjustable bridge with trapeze tailpiece and streamlined electronics guarantee a minimum of issues. Smooth tones and a great vibe.

A decent archtop for the money

I have owned a Philadelphian for about a month now. I got an outrageous deal because I bought the last Natural finish they had. It was supposed to come with chrome hardware but mine came with gold hardware. A pleasant surprise! I needed to get the guitar set-up as soon as it arrived, due to a serious buzz all across the first fret. Once set-up, it played very nicely. The neck did take a bit of getting used to.

The finish on my guitar is flawless and is really quite beautiful. The tuners are knock-offs of the famous Grover Imperials. They are made by a compnay named "Junko". I hope this is not Korean for "junk". Seriously, they tune well and hold tune excellently.

The tone is good to very good and the acoustic voice is surprisingly good.

All in all, a decent value in an entry level archtop.

The sound was quite decent unplugged

The sound was quite decent unplugged,body woods were very good,nicely applied finish,however this guitar has cosmetic,build quality and workmanship issues:the neck is made up of three pieces,headstock is a seperate piece that is glued (scarfed) to the neck,then another block of wood is used to make up the neck's heel,these unmatched pieces are not aesthetically pleasing,fingerboard is grainy,inside the body there was no kerfing(the reinforcing strips that provide a gluing surface to join the top,back and sides),the wooden support block for tailpiece was almost unrecognizeable because it was covered with GLOBS of hanging dried glue embedded with wood shavings,debris under finish next to the "f" hole and below the pickguard reddish in color,also sanding dust(?)on the bottom part of the neck,wooden bridge slots for "b"and "e" strings were cut too deep,gold plating on tuners is spotty or blotchy in appearance,nut slots were roughly cut and had edges,also appears that super glue used to build up low "e" nut slot,after having it for two days i returned it.
