| A bent top guitar is a guitar that has a
totally artificial veneered archtop. It is yet another way for
the bigger mega corporations to bilk more money out of uneducated
consumers. Guitars with bent tops should be avoided if possible. Of
course large corporations should also be avoided and there would be
no need to look for these type of scams. |
The picture of the Brian Moore Guitar below appears to be
an archtop,
But if you look at the picture above it's plain to see the radius
bent top.
Avoid This Type Of Construction
This Brian Moore is an example of a bent top
guitar,
It appears to be an archtop when you look at it quickly.
But be assured it is not an archtop. Its only a veneer illusion !!!
A Carved Top is usually a thick piece of wood that is carved into an arch.
It will always sound much better than a bent veneer top.
