Archtops

These are some of my archtop guitars. I got interested in these several years ago when a friend of mine (Spider Tetsu), got me interested in old swing jazz and blues. I have had a few Harmony H62’s (now down to one 1954 H62), a late 50’s Harmony 1385, a 1959 Silvertone 1427, a couple of Gibson ES-175’s (1950 and 1971), an ES-125 (1950) and the king of them all, a 1953 ES-350, and a few others that I can’t recall right now.

I play guitar and take pictures, although I'm not particularly good at either one. I've been living in Japan for more than 30 years and I work in patent law, although I'm now semi-retired. My purpose in setting up this blog is to be able to post pictures and comments relating to my main interests. It remains to be seen how well that will turn out.
