I’m anxious for you to play it. I took it to a local guitar store called Acoustic Corner to let the owner play it so I could judge it out front with some one else at the controls. He was impressed and said it responded to his lightest touch and i loved the way it sounded.

The guitar arrived safely and is in one piece!! Horray!! Given the number of horror stories I've heard lately about shippers, I'm SOOO happy it was handled well. John did the most incredible packing job I could have asked for. Between his packing and the Visenut case, the guitar was well protected.
I called John and minute ago to tell him how pleased I am at how the guitar turned out. I told him (and I will tell all of you) that it is probably the best one he's every built that I have played. And it's brand new so it will only get better. And for those who have wondered if this was coming to BIG....it absolutely is not lol...at least not this year because hopefully maybe I'll make it to BIG one of these years and might bring it along. I'll give a full account of the guitar when time permits, but suffice it to say, I'm delighted.

So glad it arrived safely, Mike! And it definitely looks to be a special guitar--I'm not surprised that it has the sound to match its looks.
Would love to try it next to my Graybeard sometime. John is really turning out some awesome guitars these days! Enjoy!

Your more than welcome. I wasn’t just giving you lip Service. I think you and John hit a home run with that guitar. She’s a real looker. ( insert wolf whistle here). Yep, That’s the word on the street. After Reading everyone’s comments on their new JK’s, I don’t think I could of picked a better time for it. |

Hmmm…
“ Paul, so sorry to hear of this last episode with Fedex and I do hope that John can correct what Fedex messed up. And yes, you are loaded for bear with John's guitars. I know you can play several instruments at once, but can you play more than one of those Kinnaird's at the same time?? ”
No, but I do play in different tunings so I often take two to a gig, if there is somewhere safe to stash one. So happy for you Mike! John’s work continues to be better and better, it is true. And like you, I found his earlier #99 mind bendingly good! It really did encourage me to sell a bunch of high end instruments that just did not compare sonically. I hope you are ROCKIN’ Paul

With the utmost of sincerity, this is one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen! Absolutely Gorgeous!
I know that sound is the most important factor....but this guitar just begs to be played on beauty alone. This is the kind of guitar where one would just lust to take the guitar out of the case and fold into your arms. AHH if I were but a rich man, |
