I recall that jzucker posted some Painter demo's in the showcase section. You might try a search there, and maybe sending him a private message. |

I own a P-175. It is a really nice guitar! To my ears it has kind of an early Jim Hall tone.
The neck is a medium C which most people will like but I've been considering selling mine and ordering one with a big fat neck. I spoke to Tom about it and he'll do any neck carve you want.
As mentioned, Jack has some nice demos which I think represent Painter's guitars quite well:
I'd really love to try one of the 350's out! |

I've played a couple. I prefer them to the Sadowsky laminates, and the price is better. Stunning instruments with an amazing sound.  |

Nothing at all wrong with the Sadowsky instruments, but you're not missing out by grabbing a Painter Quote:

There is a P-175 on Gbase right now at a really good price. I thought about buying it last year but ended up ordering a Holst instead so that I could customize scale length, etc. But the Painter was very tempting! |

If so, how do you like it? His guitars look great and $2800 for a custom laminate is a great deal imo! |
