❌ SOLD ❌ Michael A Lewis ‘Le Petite Rougette’ Archtop Guitar Red, 2009

On May 10, 2018 /

Michael A Lewis builds very high quality archtop guitars and mandolins in his Grass Valley, California workshop. For a time, Lewis built authorized replicas of D’Angelico instruments though this arrangement has come to an end. He builds largely to order, though some instruments are available from stock. Built for the 2009 Montreal Guitar Show as part of the ‘Red Collection’, this Michael A Lewis ‘Le Petite Rougette’ archtop is an excellent illustration of Lewis’s skill. Fully acoustic with an Bartolini jazz pickup mounted to the fingerboard and pickup, this guitar is in excellent condition.

Thank You For Your Help And Patience.

I want to send you this happy mail and thank you for your help and patience. The Saratoga is ringing and plinging and has accepted me as her user. My fingerpicking is improving and I am happy in every way.

Next year I will buy a good open back banjo and I mean to buy it from you. I don’t find the Saratoga to be ideal for claw hammer so we must look into the matter. Maybe a fine top end instrument already used and treated with songs? Greetings from Norway!

Could Not Be More Pleased!

I received my Turner guitar last week and could not be more pleased. It’s a beautifully simple guitar that feels and sounds sublime and is exactly as you described. Thank you Max and the rest of the 12th Fret staff for working through my questions, the payment options and the solid packaging and shipping.
