Motor Ave Lamirada
PRICE: Starting at $9000
The LaMirada is my take on the traditional archtop. The body is constructed of either mahogany or soft maple, using bent sides and hand carved top & back, with a honduran mahogany centerblock. The neck is honduran mahogany as well. The average weight of a LaMirada is 7- 7.5 lbs.
