Guitar you are most curious to try?
I am looking to buy a small-bodied (or thin jumbo) 12-fret cutaway. In the process, I've been scouring forums and reading dozens of threads. I have learned about dozens of luthiers and read thousands of opinions. After all this reading, I am really curious to try:
Batson - I don't understand how his guitars can be 'easier to play than a high-end electric'. I'd love to find out for myself. Blanchard - I really want to hear the tone of one of Mark's guitars. The number of references to his perfect 'Blanchard tone' stand out after reading a lot of posts. Franklin - Nick Nukich is a bit of a mysterious builder, spoken about in hushed tones. His guitars never seem to come up for sale. What is the legend about? Ribbecke - the Halfling is a very innovative design. I do comping on swing tunes as well as play fingerstyle, so I'd love to hear how it sounds. Sobell - Intriguing design. I heard Martin Simpson in concert last year, and the PA'ed sound was atrocious. But the design still has me curious. Somogyi - What is all the fuss about? , and most of all, I'd love to try an 'OM' V12 short-scale Doolin. His attention to playability and intonation have me very, very curious. What are you curious about? Last edited by IanS; 12-11-2009 at 01:41 PM.

Nothing quite so exotic.
I want to compare my '04 D-18GE to an '05 D-18 Authentic and my '05 OM-45 Tazmanian Blackwood to an OM-45 Brazilian Roy Rogers. Just to see............
