🎸 About the Guitar

Shreddage 3 Archtop is an advanced evolution of the beloved Archtop: Hollowbody Electric Guitar, now fully rebuilt for the Shreddage 3 engine. The original instrument—based on a 6-string Sadowsky Jim Hall hollowbody with dual pickups—was trusted by thousands of musicians worldwide. This upgraded version introduces improved playback realism, enhanced strumming logic, deeper articulation control, and expanded tonal flexibility.

Performed by acclaimed session guitarist Josh Workman, every note was captured with exceptional nuance and feel. Samples were recorded clean DI through a true analog signal chain, ensuring maximum warmth, clarity, and realism across all playing styles.

While capable of driving high-gain tones, Shreddage 3 Archtop truly excels in clean and lightly driven genres, making it a standout choice for expressive solos, melodic leads, and detailed chord work.
