Congrats on your Wingert!
EJ 16s are what Kathy fits to her guitars.

Congrats! that's a really nice instrument. Is this model's dimensions closer to a GC or an OM?

I have always loved the guitars of Kathy Wingert I have played. Congrats for your new guitar and I have a feeling this one will stay with you.

My Model F was a star at the Holy Grail show in Berlin last year. Numerous comments that it was the best in the show. I am proud to own it.
Kathy is a very special person and I'm also proud to call her my friend.

Great to know that you have that guitar, Chris. I, too, am fortunate to have Kathy as a friend. She is definitely one of the good people!

Best,
Jayne

Thanks players, yep! Kathy is really good people, not to say anything about her ability to get tone out of a slab of wood. She built my guitar 16 years ago, she picked woods that really compliment each other, this is my second Wingert but I had to sell my model F, I missed it so much that I vowed to have one more. This model E won't be sold, as Kathy has told me, 'welcome back to the fold'.
