My CR's big brother is waaaaayyy out of my price range

Doesn't he only make electrics? From what I remember they look really funny.

I have a Kinnard guitar. It is a thing of wonder.

Is that a John S. Kinnard guitar? It doesn't look like a body style that he makes.

Is that a John Kinnaird or Stephen Kinnaird guitar? I just looked and it doesn't look like either of them make that style either.

His model one has a movable pick up. It spins. Pretty versatile and tons of tones from what I hear. Mayer plays one in concert but can't be photographed using it or something like that because of contracts.

and yeah. funny looking

How much do these bad boys run?

How much do these bad boys run?

I am watching a special on Rick Turner on youtube. He's describing what goes into his acoustic guitar and the reasoning for doing it.

Like him or not, he's definitely cutting edge in design.

Indeed a John S. Kinnaird guitar, made under the Dell Arte name. Based on a 1950's DiMauro, but not a copy. I've never seen another like it.

No price.

But after I got my CR I asked Rick about a guitar using the tenor body and he quoted me 5K.

I like my GS Mini

The carbon fiber flying buttress? It looks cool. His personal player guitar is amazing.

Ahh.. I always associate the Macaferri style with the Dell Arte brand. That's awesome!

I read that his guitars start at $5k, but that was from an article written in 2007.

Yeah! it allows him to not reinforce the top allowing for freer resonation.... Most impressive!

The bracing is minimal and a light. Lots of carbon fiber on the tops of the bracing for strength. He also does the cantilevered fingerboard on the guitar.

Nick to answer your question about the string though bridge out there. . . I also tie on beads so the knots won't pull through.

I often tie one on before I change my string-through ukuleles, I find it helps quite a bit!

A few months ago, there was a thread about Rick turner on a guitar forum, about a commission that never happened. It was the most entertaining forum thread I have ever read.

Drinking helps?

Doesn't hurt.

Rafe report: Tomorrow, finish Naomi's room and take stuff to Goodwill. Sunday we have church and a birthday party to go to.

That guy still hasn't sold us those chickens. He said he would sell us some, and would call us the next day when he was free....we are still waiting.
