Marty,
We don't have any there anymore. Give me a call or message me and we'll see if we can't ship one up there for you to try.
Cheers!

Just as I was preparing to sit down in my easy chair last night with my Baranik Retreux Parlor, the phone rang so I propped it up in my chair to go grab the phone. When I came back, the light from the table lamp on my guitar made the Koa sides shine in a way that took my breath away. So, I thought I would post it.

Thanks... I'm certainly enjoying seeing all these beautiful guitars. Makes me wonder, though, about how one would separate the inherent beauty of the wood from the skills of the craftsman?

Sort of like asking "what's the most beautiful guitar with the plainest wood"?

Just my curiousity...

Phil

Such beautiful guitars, macassar ebony has to be one of the prettiest tonewoods out there. By the way, I was thinking about posting a pic. None of the builders would have reservations about that right?

Fingerstylist,
Mac Eb is one of my faves, too. This is one that got a little outta hand with it...
