Stromberg Master 400 Antique Natural
Inspired by the iconic Stromberg archtops of the Swing Era, the Master 400 Full Body Archtop captures the commanding acoustic presence that made the original instruments legendary. This example features X-bracing, offering enhanced tonal balance, greater harmonic complexity, and a warmer, more open acoustic response while retaining the impressive projection and dynamic range for which Stromberg archtops are renowned. Equally suited to solo performance, ensemble work, or discerning collectors, the Master 400 embodies the golden age of American archtop design while offering the precision and reliability of modern craftsmanship.
As an early Master Series sample build, this guitar is available at a reduced price compared to current production examples. Far from a compromise, it showcases the same exceptional hand-crafted construction, premium tonewoods, and impressive acoustic performance. A rare opportunity to acquire a unique example of the Master 400 at outstanding value.
