Thx, I'm in Liverpool. The Godin Kingpin looks very well priced, but I'm gassing to try the D'Angelicos and Eastmans and stuff, too - never seen those in a store before, so even if I just test them out to compare, it would be an awesome experience (gutted my plan to be in NYC this summer doesn't look to be formulating well at all...was really hoping to try out a Sadowsky, or at least see one in the wood for the first time).
I'm actually contemplating getting a custom build either full or semi, prolly a semi, in a few year's time. Thinking of a walnut construction for it and I'm in talks with an American luthier friend about it at the moment (just vague chatting right now about viability...one of his friends is currently making a full hollow from walnut, so I wanna know how that goes - my Ibanez electro-acoustic is walnut laminate and it has a really nice pseudo-jazzy dark tone to it for the price, which is where I started toying with the idea, all the highs are smoothed off on it and it's not as bassy or boomy as a Martin D15, but has lots of nice lows and low-mids and good dynamic range, surprisingly, oh and not too much sustain).  |
