Default Bill Asher Acoustics

Bill Asher is widely known for his fantastic electrics. He has made some acoustics as well. Can anyone weigh in their experience with his acoustic guitars?

Well, I was a fan of his mom! Does that count?

I would also like to hear about any experiences with these. Evidently he specializes in electrics & Hawaiian laptops, & only makes acoustics when asked. So there's only a handful out there. Here's one available on Reverb; I e-mailed with the owner & he's not in a hurry to let it go.

The koa wood and rope binding is commonly used on Weissenborne guitars, but it works great on that flat top.

Hello,

I have not played one. Fretboard Journal issue #30, published in 2013, has an article about Asher and his guitars though. If you don’t have access to it let me know and I can photograph the pages and message them to you.
