That is a beauty alright, didn't even realize it was Adirondack. Someone heard me playing a bunch of guitars last week and said that the best sounding for what I did (thin flatpick/strumming), that Hamblin was the best.
Lots of nice guitars here. I've gone back and forth on the Proulx and Applegate a few times...

Listened to that haunting JOI Sitka/Maple sound clip. That guitar sounds amazing! I don't know anything of this builder or his guitars, but that one sounds special.
