Default Dan Roberts Troubadour final stages

Dan is just about to complete my Troubadour:

* Mahogany b/s
* Adirondack top
* sunburst
* 'Chicago' headstock
* Brazilian fingerboard and bridge
* 1 3/4 and 2 5/16
* Waverly's


This link will take you to pictures of my guitar on Dan's Face Book page.

I should add, that Dan is the nicest, most knowledgeable, individual one could hope for. Always available to talk, explore the possibilities of the build, makes great suggestions, and has fascinating stories to tell. I could not have asked for more of anything, throughout the build process.

Really looking forward to this one.

Congrats! Dan's the man. I had a Roberts Trouby myself a while back. A great builder and super nice guy. If you are in AZ, perhaps I will need to try yours out sometime

One of my favorite guitar builders.

Thanks for sharing this.

I'm currently in Berlin, at the Holy Grail Guitar Show. I'm carrying one of Dan's guitars, which I'll be handing over next week to Eric Clapton in London. Eric's a lucky fellow.

JT, I was talking with Dan last week and he told me of your trip. Sounds like a great time; be safe.
