I think that is an absolutely a lovely guitar. I believe that has been living at George Gruhn's. Looking for an owner. I know that some of the antique finishing techniques came from a friend n' neighbor master violin luthier. I think that you'll see some similar elements in this one albeit a bit of a different beast.

I am amazed that no one has snatched it up this spec. guitar. I can only attribute it being available still to the strong preconceptions that exist in the guitar community as to how maple sounds vs. glassy tropical hardwoods sound or look (many tend to hear with their eyes...notice Taylor is now dark staining their new maple guitars!).

I've always loved this "Antiqued" OO Euro Spruce/Big Leaf Maple guitar Bruce built a few years back. If I played right handed, I'd be all over it!!! It truly is a beautiful piece of art, that just so happens to sing so sweetly when caressed just right...
