So I go to the concert by the White Album Ensemble in Santa Cruz last night and the group Guitars not Guns is having a drawing for two guitars, the first was a strat copy and the second was a nice looking classic type guitar....so since I like the charity I buy 40 bucks worth of tickets AND get a free tee shirt. The drawing happens and some other guy wins the "strat" and the next number called is mine.....and it's beautiful...Nice way to start the New Year. A lot of the musicians were talking the guitar up and it is hand made so who knows.....I'm stoked. AND, it was a great concert.

I think the cheapest guitar he makes is about 2K.

His master series cost 5-6K++++++

You got a killer guitar..... From one of the best custom builders in the biz....

Yeah? Cool, I've never had a classical guitar before...only r/r type stuff and an old guild d35 that I've had for 35years or so...the fret board is wider than I'm used to but I think I'll try to use it...I need to get back to playing...maybe it's a sign from the gods....

I do believe Kenny Hill was the first Scotish guitar maker to come out of the closet. Perfect for you...

(they even have a dealer in Alabama of all places!!)
