| A bent top guitar is a guitar that has a totally artificial veneered archtop. It is yet another way for the bigger mega corporations to bilk more money out of uneducated consumers. Guitars with bent tops should be avoided if possible. Of course large corporations should also be avoided and there would be no need to look for these type of scams. |
