That means I can play my compositions live, without bringing the guitars I used, synths or a computer...in theory at least. It does a lot more stuff too. But I'm basically interested in the synth & the audio player. My coolest music purchase this year - by far. This thing is AMAZING! Marcellis, is that you?

Originally Posted by Etienne Rambert I don't know. I'd have to check. Shipping scares the h*ll out of me. That's why I don't sell guitars. I've shipped a couple of guitars home. But they went Fed-Ex.

Thanks, when you do see him, let me know, and tell him I'm very interested in having him build a Marcellis-type archtop for me (I would be willing to pre=pay if necessary or pay a deposit), unless you can suggest something else. I think I might be willing to take a risk on shipping if he can work it out, although, after seeing your pictures and talking to other people, I am sort of dying to visit Vietnam. I suspect there is no way to contact him directly, or would that be a waste of my time?

The thing is, that arch-top kills anything on the market in its price or even a lot higher. It's big. It's deep. It has more acoustic volume with .10's than the Godin model has with .12's. And since I can put .10's on it, the action is a dream. It's really a rare bird. I had a lawyer from LA & his wife come visit me a couple of months ago. They got an incredibly cheap tour price. And they put him up in a five-star hotel. The whole thing was around $1200 apiece, counting airfare. That's amazing. What would be the shipping charges, on average, to the USA? Does he ship? Kind of hard to hear the guitar on the track.

Reverend. One of the best necks on there, high end brands included.

This, a 1933 Martin OM-28 I played at Eric Schoenberg's shop in Tiburon CA. You could get a pretty nice car for what it costs though.

I'll have to look. That green flash in the Brazilian is awesome looking. The guitar seems to be a fingerpicker, no?
-
Very beautiful guitars. Don't see those in the good old USA.
