Very cool how Ben inlaid that guy into the back of your guitar. Its subtle but very innovative!
Congrats guys on a beautiful build. |

Thanks Mike, yeah the colors on this one are subtle, but really work well IMO.
Yes, Mike, thanks, I am very excited about this one for sure.

The Sitka looks incredible. I'm also really loving the coco radial rosette!
I think the snakewood elements really complement the overall aesthetic well. Looking forward to sound clips once it's strung up! |

Thanks again, Ben said he had that set for about 10 years and thought it had some of the nicest tap tones as any wood he had, sooooo I hope that along with the 40 year old Sitka means a winner!!!

If I was ordering a Wilborn that’s exactly what I would want...
OM size, quartered rosewood, the old spruce, cutaway, simple appointments, let the wood speak for itself....nice. D |

Thank you, I can highly recommend Ben if you decide to go for it!!! A nice little Nevada-made guitar heading over seas to Scotland would be a fun treat!

Initial reports on the sound seem pretty good from Ben. I should have a video to post pretty soon! Lots of sustain, nice bottom end, really good mid-range with sparkling trebles, not sure what else a customer could ask for at this point.

Well I am very pleased to introduce to you the Cinnamon Girl, the newest Ben Wilborn finished guitar:
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!
