Hope to see you one of these days! Best, Phil

Dorian does a great job on any guitar he lays his hands on! I keep going back to watch the videos after I've been playing to remind myself what Tres M really sounds like!

Hope to see you down the road sometime at a Baraniak event!

Be good and take care and make some great music with this guy.

Hey thanks, Tom--it's an amazing guitar that's really a joy to play. It gets daily attention these days! Be well, my friend!

I just had to come back for another gander at these fabulous pictures of your Baranik, man.

Beyond wow. Way beyond.

So, how's the honeymoon going?

Stay well, amigo.

Hey Marc--thanks for checking back in on Tres M! It's always a source of delight and joy to open up the case and play this beauty--both visually and tonally. The honeymoon continues on as my Meridian still gets the lion's share of my play time.

Whatever Mike is doing, it works totally for me. Although the entire tonal spectrum is represented in great form, it's the trebles that really stand out to me--there is a sparkle and shimmer to them that exists nowhere else in my collection. Perhaps it's the blue spruce? Or just the wizardry that is Mike Baranik...

Hope all is well with you, my friend. Be well...

Hey Mike--thanks for the nice comments. Mike really delivered for me with this guitar! Cheers!

I love it Nemoman. Very creative use of materials. I think that fingerboard is striking and of course the tasteful use of malachite it just great. You have an original.

Hey John--thanks for that--I appreciate it your comments.

It's definitely one of a kind!

[Diamondave]

YES....!!!! So COOL....

[cigarfan]

Man, that is a beautiful guitar. Unique in every way.

[SprintBob]

Wow, what a journey and what a fantastic end (and beginning).

[riorider]

I suspect your sparkle is due in large part to the blue spruce... at least that's the "whistle range" tinkling that I've noticed on BS topped Baraniks!

And of course Mike's waved his wand over it as well...

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!

Best,
Phil

Thanks for chiming in, Phil. That's kind of what I figured--both the BS and the wand! Tres M is getting a lot of play time these days.

Hope all is well back in your part of the world--cheers!
