MARCHIONE CARVED TOP MODELThe design of the Marchione Carved Top Model dates back to 1993, when Stephen Marchione first opened his studio on 20th street in Manhattan. He made a few blonde carved tops with black hardware and the old style Marchione logo decal. 20 years later the discovery of a handful of the old decals inspired Marchione to bring back this carved top design. The MArchione Carved Top has the same sophisticated carving patterns used on Marchione's Archtops. All the hardware is proprietary Marchione designed. | |
MARCHIONE NECK-THROUGH MODELSteven Marchione hand makes a double cutaway stratocaster style neck though model, with highly figured maple body. Marchione began making the Neck Through model in his search for a better sustaining design - the Neck Through eliminates joinery - with the bridge, nut and tuners all attached to the same piece of wood. Marchione takes this concept to the extreme in his one-piece model with the entire guitar, neck and body alike, carved out of a single piece of Mahogany! |
