@AndyW Hope you didn't have to pay too much more than the sale estimate. Also see that Federicci archtop, which is an intriguing instrument, though I've never heard of the maker.

yeah, was I was saving my cash for the Model 22, but here's its sale result - nobody fell for the supposed (bogus imho) Carmelo Catania connection. There have been a couple of similar octagram-inlayed guitars mentioned in this thread already. I'd guess they'd make better "gypsy" guitars than their big fancy arch-top cousins.
Safe to say I'll pay fifteen times this for the Model 22, commission and packaging all-in 🤨
I feel like it's the Streisand effect - if we weren't talking about Carmelo Catania et. al. here on the forum, I'd be paying a lot less for them !

Ooooooh, lovely! How does the new one sound?
Like it needs a set-up and a set of strings. A January blues-beating project.
