The Archtop Foundation was set up in 2021 with a mission to raise awareness of the wonders of the acoustic archtop guitar which eventually resulted in the acquisition of the Chinery Blue Guitar Collection. One of the joys of this project has been reuniting the guitar makers involved in the project in the 1990s with instruments that represent a pivotal moment in their career and a snapshot of their lives.  This video documents Linda Manzer's workshop for a detailed look at the guitar she contributed to the collection The Blue Absynthe.
