About ArchtopShop.com
The Archtop Shop is an independent guitar shop focusing on hollow body and semi-hollow body guitars, strings & accessories.
Currently, this one man shop is an all clicks store with aspirations of one day opening a bricks location.
There is no physical retail store location at this time. Archtop Shop LLC is online only.
Guitar Inspections & Setups
All guitars are inspected, setup, restrung and have fret work done on purchase, as needed, by master guitar technician Charles Carter of Guitar Restorations Inc. in Havre de Grace, Maryland.
A D’Addario & Co., D’Angelico Guitars of America, Guild Guitar Company, Pigtronix & Supro dealer.
The Archtop Shop is an authorized dealer of D’Addario, D’Angelico, Guild, Pigtronix & Supro products. Contact me at https://archtopshop.com/contact if this site does not have an item you are looking for. Maybe you would like several unusual sets of D’Addario strings at a discount, a Deluxe guitar from D'Angelico, a Starfire guitar from Guild, a looper pedal from Pigtronix or a head and cabinet from Supro. Please, let me know. Including a link to your item(s) from the manufacturer’s website would help ensure I get the correct product(s) for you. I will reply with an expected delivery date in an invoice for you to make a payment up front.
D’Addario’s String Finder
Find the strings just right for you with D’Addario’s string finder. After getting your result, return to this site and do a search for the strings. If your recommended strings are not in stock I can special order them for you.
Reforestation
In partnership with OneTreePlanted.org I have 1 gift tree planted, in your name ( a $10 Value ), with every guitar sold. Your gift will support reforestation work in the locations where it is needed most. A One Tree Planted certificate, in your name, will be emailed to you soon after purchasing a guitar.
Domestic and International Shipping
Boxed orders are now usually shipped to the United States & worldwide via USPS. I will send an email with a tracking number for you to follow your order’s progress. Note: USPS deliveries usually are in the tracking system soon after the Post Office is in possession of your item. If UPS delivers your item, it can take several hours to be registered.
If the actual shipping cost is substantially more than listed on checkout, I may send you an invoice to make up the difference. This is especially true for international orders and orders to Hawaii and Alaska. If you are ordering a guitar or an amplifier to be delivered outside of the continental USA, expect an invoice with the remainder of shipping costs. Your order will be processed after the invoice is paid. International Orders may also have customs taxes and/or fees included upon arrival to your country. Your email address and phone number are included in your item’s customs paperwork in case there is a need to contact you. If additional shipping is close to what you pay for on checkout I will waive that amount.
