Members Stackabones Posted August 21, 2009 Members Share Posted August 21, 2009 Dropped by a local mom-n-pop, Texas Music Lab, not too far from the Stackaranch today. Stock #901WANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANTWANT Stock #314 (I think it was this one.)Pretty cool. I don't know much about resos, but this one sounded cool to me and felt great in my lap. The relic'd finish kinda made it look like an old Bialetti. Heavy and vibolicious. * I also played a handmade Tele thinline with P90s. Made by a guy named Marco, who lived and trained as a luthier in the Netherlands -- and then lived in Ireland for a dozen or so years. I'd love to hear that accent. All the woods were exotic (don't know what kind) and the P90s were from Switzerland and evidentally difficult to find. Neck was a good ole chuncky C shape. Beautiful work. I'm wondering if he makes gypsy jazz guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gitnoob Posted August 21, 2009 Members Share Posted August 21, 2009 That's a lot of WANT. I love the look of those Republic parlors. You telling me they sound good, too? And they're cheap? There ought to be a law.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chordchunker Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 John How makes incredible ladder braced guitars patterned after the old Stella`s. I`m interested in the Republic Parlor also. Do they sound as cool as they look? I need a Blind Blake guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuitarVlog Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 Stack, if that one was good, you should probably get it. Someone else wasn't happy with theirs. http://www.thewoodshop.20m.com/music/republic-parlor-hold/republic-parlor01.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gitnoob Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 After hearing that clip, do not want. But he should have fixed that setup first. That's the tallest saddle I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jimmycrack Posted September 10, 2009 Members Share Posted September 10, 2009 Here's a review of the guitar on another board with a sound clip: http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154674 The review you posted is actually a B-stock and the buyer said that his money including shipping was refunded totally and he even compliments the sound clip. So maybe they are luck of the draws...but they seem to be decent enough...I just picked one up off Ebay for three bills HSC included. Was a little miffed cause I missed a Seagull for 275 HSC and shipping included...but I'm not totally sold on cedar. PS here's a youtube clip which the guy wasn't strumming but even strummed still sounds fairly nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those clips sound fairly accurate to me ... at least, they are pretty close to what I recall the guitar sounding like. GAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
