John you have some great designs, I remember looking at all your drawings way back when, the guitar turned out great. Correct me if I am wrong but didn't a guy from the board here bring it to fruition, Name of Bennett or something like that.
They are built by Bruce Bennett in Chattanooga, TN., including the model I posted above. I have seen this guitar in person (I was at the Newport Guitar Festival, took the photo actually), but as far as I know, it's the only JBD-400 ever built. I'm not even sure where the guitar presently is...so it qualifies as a 'Guitar I'd like to try but can't find anywhere'.
