My trip to Asher Guitars
 

Just before Christmas I went to Bill Asher's shop to check out his Style 1 and Teardrop acoustic lap steels as well as his electics. What a great opreration he's got, and a terrirific, down to earth gentleman.. And his instruments... whoa!... Sweet !

Well, I came home with both... A breathtaking Style 1 Koa and a Mahogany Teardrop. Both with L.R. Baggs M1A pickups. Both are amazing guitars... especially the Style 1.

Then, there's the Breedlove, with heavy gauge strings tuned to B for playing tunes such as this:
