Wilborn Guitars , Anyone have one or
Played one ? I seen the thread posted by a member who bought one from Ben not to long ago very nice guitar by the way .
I'm working on a build with Ben as well though this post is a "after the fact kind of thing " lol I figured I'd still ask if anyone has played Bens guitars that might share there thoughts and any audio they may have . Thanks

You're probably referring to my thread in my recent purchase. I can tell you that I enjoy this guitar every time I play it and it does seem to be "breaking in" a bit.
As far as I know JR bought one, no idea if he still owns it. Otherwise you may be hard pressed to find owners. I think Ben is under 110 guitars built.

Ben lives 30 mins up the road from me. He's a great guy, great player, a very talented, meticulous, and motivated builder. He has created unique guitar designs and his guitars have a signature sound which to my ear is very clear, direct and powerful. Enjoy the build process...you will get a very nice guitar, I suspect.

Under 110 dang it man! So finding folks won't be easy haha
I'm an under dog kind of guy but I have a feeling this will be changing for Ben so order up before he raises the price 😉 Ben is very cool and very helpful sure wish I was close enough for a visit . I for one will posting my butt off with this new guitar ,guitar Gods be willing that is .

I also received the highest recommendation from yet another forum member who is planning to have his next commission come from this very luthier. Planning to get to that part of the world next year so .....
