Ed,

Welcome and thanks for your comments.

Are you Ed Gerhard of "The Handing Down", "Tennessee", and "The River Is Wide" fame?

Terry

David,yes that's the Dunn I'm looking at.

Orville, thanks for the info.

Hi Terry-
yeah, it's me. (Actually, the song is "The Water is Wide.)

Come to think of it, the Dunn I played may have been cedar. I remember the guitar being an intense yellow color; we might be speaking of the very same instrument.
Cheers,
Ed

Ed, again welcome. I have listened to and played (or attempted to play) your music for years.

Ed,

Welcome aboard! I've only heard "House of Guitars" and it's wonderful... I have given it to two friends as birthday presents in just the last month. What a great concept and production - both musically and the physical package.

It can be a bit disheartening hearing such great music coming out of < $200 instruments. Certainly proves it's the musician, not the instrument!

Terry,

Well if you don't get it I will at least be able to do an in depth comparison to it and my Russell when it arrives around April 1.

My guitar will be made of Tasmanian Blackwood - very similar to Koa.

Hi Terry..I just saw this topic and wanted to repond to you about weissenborn copyies too. I play a guitar made by Bill Bonnanzinga. For the money the sound and quaility construction is incredible.The guitar has a deep clear low end and a good punch on the high end as well. Mine is made
of Afican Mahogany, top,sides and back.with great apointments like rosewood binding w/ herringbone trim. Bill gets about $1650.00 for a model like this. If you are interrested you can call him @631 666-4074. or email him at bonzotone@aol.com. I can email you a pic or two and some sound bites I recorded on it. My email is pmosco@aol.com Good luck and happy hunting I think your budget price can be reduced when you hear and play one of these guitar...Peter mosco
