New guitar

ZippyChip · #1 04-23-2014, 01:57 PM

I pulled the trigger on a custom guitar from Kris Barnett today. 640 scale, 51 wide, Cedar over Ziricote (laminated), arched back, hybrid finish with French polished top

.
excellent price and delivery--he had one partially built and available. I got lucky.
Quite an upgrade from what I tried just a few weeks ago.
Thanks for the suggestion Steveh

FYI: I want to post this because I had so much help from a classical guitar vendor--Reverie Guitars.

If someone is looking for a shorter scale guitar, take a look at the KH Performance guitar from his shop.
It has 640mm scale x 51mm nut, French polish, Kenny's initials signed on the label. Price is very good.
I saw this demo video and I thought it was impressive!

Can anyone tell me what this piece of music is? It's something I would like to learn.

Just to be sure, I was not endorsing the guy or the music, just the guitar

Thanks Paikon, I didn't see that additional information. And, Sayage says it's by Bach. He offers the sheet music and in tab (good for an old dunce like me) and I've already ordered it.
