I also forgot to say, make the cable hole in the bridge base and in the top on the treble side, not the bass - and a bit oversized to allow for a tiny bit of movement - since plain strings all intonate about the same, it's the wound ones that can vary.
(And you can use roundwounds if you like .)

Read up on it and seems to be accepted that if your going jazz and want a warmer fuller tone flat wound is way to go and amplified slide with pickup use for blues etc round wound a better choice.
Yeah I know arch top isn't usual route but plenty blues and rock and rollers started with archtops. Including muddy and Elmore James (though his was a round sound hole arch top iirc.
Tbh I play blues, rock&roll and a selection of other stuff and I adore archtops so I am happy with my unusual route. And tbh this archtop has a lovely acoustic tone that I'd say is much closer to tone I want than most jazz boxes anyway

Pure nickel 12s or 13s is what I would go for, you probably don't need heavier.

Having played it though its too good to play and awesome looking not to do something with it to make it my go to slide/acoustic machine hence plan changed massively from sling on strings and have fun to hmmmmm ok what can it do.
Not even sure what scale length is supposed to be, guess that would be a good start and work out which string to measure that on to place bridge spot on (especially before I try and see where intonation needs to be)

My bridge however touches arch whole size of bridge, would it need to be the same or would this type where it touches at either end be fine???? If has to be full width I'll just make new top part fit old bottom part
