“ARCH”ITECTURAL INTEREST

24th Anniversary of the Benedetto ARCHTOP PLANS!

“The tracings were done by an architect named Skot Koenig….besides being a meticulous draftsman, Mr. Koenig also displays a fine sense of style and a deep appreciation for the subject. Looking them over in the executive suite at GAL World Headquarters, I assumed at first that the drawings were made using some kind of sophisticated CAD program. Closer inspection and a phone call to Pennsylvania assured me that the uniform lines and eye-catching lettering were simply indicative of a practiced hand and an artist’s eye.”  excerpt from Luthier Dave Riggs for American Lutherie, the journal of the Guild of American Luthiers, Issue #66, Summer 2001.
