This guitar is everything I have hoped for and possibly THE BEST guitar I've ever played (even better than the Somogyi I fell in love with last year). How good can this guitar be? Good enough for me to already be thinking about selling off my entire collection to buy another or two! yes, THAT GOOD! but a more in depth review coming shortly!

some quick pics for the end of a long weekend

pulling up to the woodstock show:

Jason holding the guitar ready to hand it to me....

He's thinking, man, what a back! I'm gonna hate giving this one up!

more coming tomorrow when I catch up on some sleep

wanted this post at the top of the page

like I said, its probably the finest guitar I've ever played, including my somogyi experience. I have traveled all over to play the most respected luthiers guitars. The list includes dozens of Olsons and Ryans, handful of Traugotts, Somogyis, Omegas, Greenfield, Claxtons, Matsudas, Walkers, Wingerts, Baraniks, Krauts and more. I've played Oshoffs (but the redwood John had at the show was soooo good! awesome guitar John!), McKnights, Cornerstones, Fays, and many more.

Hands down, this is the finest guitar I've played and it isn't even a week old yet! will continue to just get better and better!

You bet!!

So far the only bass that haunts me was that of a Ryan Cathedral (Euro/Braz) which I played about 5 years ago.
Would love to hear more from you!!

Congrats, Eric! You look very happy and the guitar looks lovely. Hope you enjoy it for years to come.

Kindly,

here is a real quick video. sorry for the bad playing. just straight through camcorder so audio isn't the greatest. but gives you the idea. also i think I said between E and A string for the mic. of course I meant B

Amazing Truly Aazing that's all I can say about the quality and sound and

Looks !! Congratulation on new guitar!! Eric.

Now I assume never see you on AGF any more, you will be too busy playing

KOSTAL all day.

Billy Boy · #**208** 10-26-2011, 05:48 PM

Eric, Every now and then one of us on the AGF truly finds his or her holy grail. The rest of continue to search. It really seems to me that you have found your holy grail guitar. It is stunningly beautiful and has a rich sound. I called Jason just a while ago to congratulate him on building you such an amazing guitar both in looks and in sound. Congratulations, my firend.

Michael Watts · #**209** 10-27-2011, 12:24 AM
