Constructed in the same way as violins and cellos, the Arch Top guitar was developed in the early 20th century. The body of the guitar was arched to create more volume. As a result the guitars have a distinct sound and an Art Deco look. To this day these instruments are favored by great Jazz players, but their use is not limited to Jazz. Archtops are finding their way into many new forms of music.
