Is this a squeaky new company or what? The only one on the 'Bay is going for $715 (item#120212371097) and 'blueberryguitars' is the seller, and they are a brand new seller.
Even if the sound is nothing special, seems like it might be a good idea to grab one of these for the unique-factor, before they go up or go away. |

Looks like the other models have less "bulbous" headstocks.
I still like the walnut model. |

Location: Texas | It sold and I think someone on the OFC got it - Fess up - who did it? :) I would love a report on the sound of it.
I kind of like carved headstocks and the carved body. It is unique and I like unique! |

My concern would be weakening the integrity of the top. Unless they start out with an overly thick top.
Having the top on my 1112-4 split the way it did, I would constantly be worried of the same thing happening, especially where the carvings are the longest and deepest.
Altho the pics look nice, I would never buy one; I guess I'm just too traditional. :) |

The guy got one but the girl did not. I realized I had a few spares (these shows are always overbooked at namm) and handed one to the girl and said "what is it worth to you?" She had a folded up twenty and started to hand it to me. I refused. Later kim Keller says "al that is the first time I ever saw you refuse money" I responded with "I was hoping she flashed me" Kim said " she was young enough to be your daughter" I said "yup"
