I want to thank Ben for this beautiful looking and sounding guitar. Ben has been great to work with and has his builds down to a science. If this guitar has a sound you like, I am sure he can come close to one for you, just slightly not as good as this one, just a little less pretty and a little less clear, just sayin!!! Throw on some headphones and ENJOY!

Just to get video on new page. Thanks Paul!

Wonderful, Tom! Love, love, Ben's videos! Interesting "nuggets" in each....getting to know his personality and build style....each is a treasure.

Play in good health and congrats.

Nice Tom! Awesome tone. And I’m really enjoying Ben’s videos. He has a way of expressing what is often difficult to put in words. Thanks Ben for these fantastic videos.

[DamianL]

Excellent.

As a builder he really seems to be hitting his sweet spot about now...

Thank you very much, he is the same all the time from meeting in Woodstock to these videos to talking on the phone...very relaxed humble guy.

Great video! I wonder if Ben would consider demo-ing for other luthiers at festivals? You could probably sell me my own instrument if you preached like that for my demo slot!!!
Congrats Tom,

Steve

Tom.....

Absolutely beautiful guitar.....and boy, oh boy.....I LOVE her voice. Congratulations.

Ben must have been great to work with. I like his personality. He seems to be a genuinely fun person who has that dynamic personality that can make everyone around him feel comfortable and engaged.

Tom, that guitar seems designed for me! It's a strummer, though obviously delicately powerful enough to provide great volume for finger style. It sounds beautiful, and to your point about it only being just strung up, I can't wait to hear how the voice of this guitar develops over time. Love the shape, too. Just a beautiful build!

[invguy921]

Tom, Congrats on another GREAT Wilborn guitar. It turned out beautiful in every way!

[Godfather]

Holy Moly! Another amazing Wilborn build!
Beautiful tone, beautiful woods, outstanding craftsmanship....GHEEZ!

Congratulations Tom and thank you Ben for sharing.

Ha, you could probably work that out at LaConner!!! I know he did his own demo at Woodstock, I regret that I did not see it though.

Thanks Joel, you have a way with words and I think you described Ben's personality very well and captured his ability to instantly make you feel as though you are friends.

Thanks Mike, I think the demo kind of makes it seem one dimensional as Ben is a flat picker by trade and really does not like to play fingerstyle although he has and is still better than I am and I do it all the time haha! I should have it by Saturday and we will find out! The shape is quite comfortable to play as he shifts the bouts forward so it sits a little more forward on your leg which puts your hand over the sound hole in a very comfy position.
