Vintage 1960's ORPHEUM Archtop Electric Guitar KAY AIRLINE Posted by: terser
Video duration: 53 seconds Global video hits: 8031 Disregard the poor sound quality and playing. I don't really know much about Orpheum guitars. It's American, from the 50's or 60's, and well made. Originally would have had Klusons and no pickup. Spruce top, checkered binding. Has an added 1960's Dearmond pickup. Nice guitars, plays well.

I am following a course of Lutherie-Guitare here in Quebec, more precisely at CEGEP Edouard Montpetit, at Longueuil, 10 minutes from Montreal. It is a three-year program, the course is cheap, very interesting and offers possibilities. Look for one in your area!

I met Mr. Foster a few times to have work done on my guitars when he had his shop on Banks street in New Orleans. Not only is he an incredible luthier and player, he's also a gentlemen and a nice guy. I plan to have a guitar built by him one day in the future. Thanks for all the videos Mr. Jimmy.

Ignore that last comment lol, sorry, but it was on my copy clipboard from something. Such a beautiful craft this is. I plan on being a luthier one day, and i'm starting out by building me my own solid body electric in wood shop, and hints perhaps? Keep them beauties a'flowin' man ^_^.
