Archtop Professional?

[atquinn]

Hey all, I'm very interesting in finding one of these guitars, but there don't seem to be many out there (as compared to Charvel 750's which I've seen plenty of on eBay). Does anyone know production numbers for the AT Pro's with Floyds versus the 750's with Floyds. Also, I can't tell from pictures, but does the AT Pro have the same non-recessed Floyd an neck angle as the 750's? Some pics I've seen make the Floyd look recessed and the neck angle straight, but I haven't seen enough pics to make a good judgement call. Oh and Happy Memorial day!

Can not help you on the production numbers , sorry. The Archtop Pros are recessed like a modern soloist . They have the same neck angle also . Good luck on your search it took me two years to find the ones I own. I would also say the the trem version is the rarer of the two.I have only seen two on ebay and snagged them both. While I have seen at least a dozen string through in the same mount of time.Here are some pictures of one with a trem.

By the way, there are at least 2 different types of necks in these. This mine has similar to modern USA Soloists, and one i tried a while ago had really really thin and flat. That was a string-thru model, don´t know if it depends on that.

That is bad ass.

I own a cherry sunburst string-thru Archtop Pro. Mine has a thin flat neck.

BTW, there are 750s with both recessed and non-recessed trems out there.

How is that more ultimate than the LTD '91 AT Pro? No abalone, no gold, no Reflex, no quilt top, etc.
