Default Caldwell guitars

I posted on the general gear page and it was suggested that I come here too.

I'm seriously considering taking a bit of a road trip to check out some Jimmy Caldwell concert models, but before I do I wanted to see if anyone here is familiar with this luthier's builds and might be willing to comment. The brands I've owned include Collings, Bourgeois, Lakewood, Guild mostly.
Thanks for any input.

Paul

I have never played one, but he is an AGF sponser and there are many threads involving his guitars. He is building for TAMCO and here is a thread for his Memphis builds. You may have all this info already, but in case you did not I thought I would post it....

Good luck.

Thanks ...... and WOW!!
I hadn't really visited here before or knew about all these fine luthiers and their build threads. I feel foolish in my ignorance, but am happy to have been enlightened. The Caldwells just look amazing!

Thanks.

Jimmy has honed his sights on true vintage tone and he's nailed it time and time again.
