Default NGD Huss and Dalton

I have been wanting a unique guitar, one that I hope I can play into retirement and beyond. Found a Huss and Dalton with a sinker Redwood top at Artisan Guitars in Franklin, Tennessee. To finance it I sold my '68 Tele and Martin OMJM; two guitars that were near and dear to me. I also bought the guitar without having played it so I was apprehensive about it all and hoping it wasn't a 3/4 life crisis.

Guitar came today...all is well.

Rupster,
That’s a beauty. I know it hurt giving up your old standards, but sometimes, change is worth it.

I used to live in the Shen Valley—H & D come from one of the beautiful places on our earth.

Congrats on the H&D - looks a beauty. Bought my first H&D in January of this year. Don't think it will be my last!
