The fact that this guitar will be at WILS makes me want to go even more. It is seriously one of the nicest looking guitars I've ever seen.

Thank you! ( standing in for Burton here since he deserves all the credit.) Even though I am a chronically mediocre player, I will try and record something in an open modal tuning which should be relatively hard to screw up even for me. This guitar loves dadgad and the like. It is currently in another D open/modal, dgcdcg, which I call Page, bc zep used it occasionally. If anyone actually knows what it is, feel free to enlighten me |

I bet if you email him he'll spill the beans, he's just been MIA on the forum lately. I have become a LeGeyt Acolyte, and there are a few things that stand out to me. He has an instinctual ability to successfully meld the traditional Martin aesthetic and tone, with just enough space-age flare to blow one's mind (the CNC neck block and "friction" tuners he made for me on the parlour come to mind.). At the same time, he has taken some modern techniques like the neck block CNC, oil varnish, and tuner recessed engraved headplates to make the guitars his own. The tone is peerless; and as long as he is willing I am sure to come up with a wicked challenging project every five years or so. Hope this answers some questions in a secondhand fashion! |

No, that wasn't me! I've always wanted to go to LaConner but it's always during final reviews at school and I can never get away at that time

Just to emphasize how strongly I feel about The Master's work:
I have become a LeGeyt Acolyte, and there are a few things that stand out to me.

Stellar instrument, by a builder who is marching to his own drum. Really terrific to see!
