I really like the Peerless (Korean 90's) Broadways, but I'm coming from a mostly solidbody power pop machine world, not the jazz guitar world, which expects much more out of an instrument than I do. The Broadway's top resonates much better than the other Epi archtops IMHO... I think it's spruce or something, vs ply. But if you're coming from something with a more resonant top, unencumbered by things like pickups stifling the resonance, then you might not like it. And it's possible I jsut got lucky with a good one... it is one of 40 made in Ebony finish, so I got lucky with that already!
