Datlen Luthiery guitars for SBAIC

[JJI]

Here is my Datlen, a guitar that continues to shock me. It sounds absolutely incredible . No joke, I knew it would be beautiful and that it would sound good but I didn't expect it to sound as good as it does and it's still a baby!

[JDatlen]

The third guitar I plan to bring to SBAIC is a 12 fret single 0.

Englemann Spruce
Cocobolo Rosewood
Mahogany neck
Ebony fretboard and bridge
Ebony bindings
Gotoh 510 tuners
25.4 scale length

John's guitars are all impressive. I came very close to bringing home that single 0 engleman - cocobolo guitar. He's a great guy and his guitars are quite a value!

Thanks so much for coming by to see me! That single 0 sold late today to another happy customer. All in all it was a great show meeting new people and seeing everybody's phenomenal work.

I absolutely love the grace of the arc through the bridge. Simple, stunning and beautifully done.
