Can't believe I just saw your post, Ivan. Sorry for the more than month reply. Thanks for the question. The one I ordered has a wood veneer and is acoustic only without electronics.

Wow. Another true piece of art from Dan. I had Dan build me an 8-string a few years back, and for those not familiar with his work, his guitars are the real deal. And now this amazing hybrid. Just when you think you've seen it all.......

Dan, yes, it’s made from a mold. The sound is very rich and projects very strongly. The body is huge (but light because of the carbon fiber), and the placement of the two sound holes really facilitates the positive sound qualities. Ive become so enamored with this instrument that I’ve bought four of...

Dan......The whole body is carbon fiber. This particular guitar does not have a wood veneer on it, but a custom guitar can have a thin wood veneer placed on the guitar top.

Another Rukavina work of art. Beautiful guitar, Ryan.

Hey Robert, How do you have her strung?

Jouni......cool looking bar, looks like there should be a prehistoric insect stuck inside of it.

Shubb SP1 - Underrated.

Hey Erv.....John here. Did the sheriff get your money for you? Just curious.

Brad.......which nylon strings do you use on your Weissenborn?

Dennis.......give open D a shot (DADF#AD), low to high). Same as E, one whole pitch lower. Troy Brenningmeyer has an excellent ten minute video on the versatility of this tuning on YouTube. In addition, he's got a whole course on open d for lap steel and another for Weissenborn.

Any thoughts on strings/gauges for acoustic C6 on my new carbon fiber Weissenborn?

Mike.... Definitely "If you Could Read My Mind", "The Wreck", and "Sundown" will live on for many decades, if not forever. Speaking of "If You Could Read My Mind", I just discovered a cover of this by non other than Skeeter Davis. If anyone loves this song whi...

One could be some 6th, the other an open tuning of your choice (low or high bass).

Devastating news. My singer-songwriter hero. Thank you so much, Mr. Lightfoot, for all of the beautiful music you left us. RIP.

John.......I believe he is still with WSA. As for his guitar, he was playing the Rittenbury as recently as two years ago, can't say what he is playing these days. The MSA he played on the road was, I believe, one of the lightweight "portable" guitars. His early affinity for MSA may have be...
