That stripe was also the 1st thing I saw (might it be less obvious when held by someone wearing proper pants?). I understand the the customer is the owner of the BG collection. IIRC that's a...
Mark will be happy to build you a 15” carved-top EP model with a Florentine cutaway.
Thanks. I'll fix that. The analysis (G6) was based on the correct melody, but I had a typo there.
I do it really probably a stupid way. I simply get the fake book out and start reading the melody over and over. Then I add the chord melody and keep going over the tune as many times as I can. Then...
This one will be the Glassllone Spezial. Gustav Glassl, a student of Franz Hirsch, was the ghost builder for top-tier carved archtop guitars from West German shops, like Hopf, Klira, and others. This...
Roger just informed me about a new B165 that is available. This is larger than the B120 , measuring 16.5 across lower bout. I took some measurements on my B165 and scale is 25” and sides are 2.875....

Yes but did Barry go to a better or worse music school than us?
Hobby brands dear to our hearts are often smaller than their reputation would suggest. I'm not strong with numbers, but recall that Eminence changed hands for a surprisingly small heap of clams.
I'm interested in this one, as a sort of ES-125/ES-150 copy... not a fan of the chunky Godin neck, the Loar 309 was just cheap. This looks very interesting, even if it might need a Biltoft CC. ...
Barry said "Flat three diminished goes to the Two and to the Three". Good enough for me.
I too have to admit the blue with what seems a white stripe does not hit me for looks. I am sure though it is a super sounding guitar Cris makes great guitars. I am pretty much a traditionalist with...
