Default Phoenix just listed at Elderly's....

Can't remember who the forum member was that had one or two of these and spoke of visiting the shop a few times.....

Definitely an ornate crossover with killer Coco b/s...

It's a great sounding guitar and plays like butter! Diane's work is impeccable, and the sound that she gets out of her guitars is chilling!

Folks, that is a killer price, and you will not be disappointed. I own two of her guitars and they are just fantastic.

I thought it was you that was the "fan"

If it had been there Saturday I could have played it (it probably was, but being "processed") The narrow nut would have been VERY hard for me to negotiate though

That's a really nice one Todd... I couldn't justify owning a cross-over that nice - but it's a beauty!

A little too much bling for my personal taste. But still a beautiful build. That price is very attractive. Much lower than some new and used Taylor NS. Cocobolo too. I am very interested in the body shape and to know how it is braced.

It's a great looking guitar, but at 660mm, I'd dislocate a finger or two trying to play it!

Very nice!

I like inlay on nylon strings. It makes them stand out a little from their peers.

I had Diane do "less bling" on my 650 scale classical. Mine was the first she did a wood inlay with, and it came out great! Pardon the strings, I had not given her a haircut yet!
