Thanks for that link. I first heard that song done by Steve Mann and Will Scarlett. I'd say Bibb has got it.

Having thought about this thread a little bit, I'd like to play a Henderson and see if I could even recognize what is special about them. I just don't know if I could come home happy to my own guitars after that.

Santa Cruz OM/PW.
But I live near Savannah, Georgia and there probably isn't one within 200 miles of me.

Would have to be a Petros.
Their website audio samples just drive me nuts. The actual guitar would probably sound even better and that is scary!

I have two:
1. The 00 cutaway being built for me by John Slobod of Circa Guitars. See here. 2. My son Andrew and I were at Dream Guitars having a pickup installed in my new Bashkin 00. After spending a pleasant hour or so sampling a number of extraordinary instruments, including those by TJ Thompson, Matsuda, Tippin, Dudenbostel, some rare Martins, Traugott, Claxton, etc., just as we were leaving, owner Paul Heumiller pulled out his personal custom-made Somogyi, and Andrew began noodling on it while Al Petteway and I were talking. When the first notes rolled out, I fell silent and immediately turned to see my son look up at me in astonishment. As he put it through its paces, with Paul beaming as he watched our reactions, I was simply speechless. In a matter of seconds, from eight feet away, I knew I was listening to one of the two or three most astounding guitars I'd ever heard, and those who have read my posts in this forum and others know that I am extremely stingy with such praise. Andrew, a world-class Irish fiddler with a better ear than I have, shook his head and said, "This is the greatest guitar I've ever played." I was itching to try it myself, but we had to leave. For the record, the soundclips of this guitar at the Dream website, as good as they are, are rubbish, and nothing more than a pale reflection of what this guitar sounds like live. I came back the next night for a house concert with Tony McManus, and brought along my picks to give the Somogyi a try, but on the drive out, I changed my mind. The last time I'd heard a guitar that affected me like that was at Gruhn's in Nashville when I tried a rosewood Martin 00 from the 20's-30's that I couldn't afford, and the sound haunted me for the next 25 years. The Somogyi is a multiple five-figure guitar, far beyond my price range, and my aesthetic tastes tend to be simpler, plus, I really, really love my current guitars, so I decided to stay happy with what I've got, and not let that serpent into my Garden of Eden. Still, every once in a while, I think I can hear its seductive voice in the back of my mind....

Eric Bibb definetly has "tone" when it comes to playing (anything). That 12-string sure does sound sweet though. No doubt about.

I'd love to try a guitar with these ergonomic specs, maybe even adding a side bevel and a double-cutaway. The ergoGitfiddle model. Great post! Last edited by IanS; 12-21-2009 at 04:14 PM. |
