Well that is one classic guitar! So I guess that the advertisement copy will say, "If Dale Fairbanks had been born in 1900, this is what he would have built in 1935!"

I wish you many good years of playing this baby. May you both grow together.

best,

Rick

I’m down here in New Orleans waiting for our power to be restored. Once that happens I will make a short video. 👍

I look forward to the video! Those tuners look great on the guitar, by the way.

Lo Fi Recording using an IPhone 6 with a Rode Mic Me plugged in.
And of course the constraints of my playing. I am a Singer/Songwriter picker who plays to support vocals. 😀
