Default Luthiers - any of you have guitars/customers in Germany

Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you have guitars available or customers in Germany.
I really would love to try out guitars of the different builders here at AFG :-) .

Olli,

I am near Heidelberg and have John Walker Lolo Creek guitar, which is an L-00size guitar. It's a great instrument! Where are you located?

Greg

Default in Werl

I have a customer in Werl who has a baritone in German spruce and koa; however it's left handed. I have another customer in the Netherlands with the same guitar, but right handed.

Olli,

John Walker doesn't post here but there is one build string from one of his customers. The website is johnwalkerguitars.com If you get down this way let me know and I'd be glad to let you play mine. He is a world class builder.

Tschuss!

Greg

There is one of mine somewhere in Berlin. I'll see if I can track it down, I am sometimes in touch with the person who owns it.

I've met John and have seen and played his guitars. I concur that he's a very fine builder, especially if you're interested in superb renditions of Gibson-style instruments (only better....)
