Ok well I haven't posted in a while but I thought this one would be fun
a few years back I got on this quest to get one of the 2013 1959 TDNs they did in Memphis with these, well, quite honestly, kind of mythical blister tops. There was a video from NAMM 2013, I read about them (hide glue, spruce bracing, a special bit of wood they had squirreled away to make these guitars) but to be honest I didn't find any-- except this one that had been posted two years ago from a fella in Canada. Actually a very nice fella! HI Frank if you are reading. He had it priced a little high for my tastes and I bid a year and a half ago and then a few weeks back he contacted me and we made a deal for closer to what I wanted to pay. We had to deal with some weirdness at the border but it finally got thru. and....
In the best sense its even better looking in person than it was in the pictures but more than that its AN INCREDIBLE GUITAR! All pup settings it just sounds great. bridge has great attack and growl, neck blooms. Theres a warmth.. theres mid range punch, theres high end. It seems to cover the tonal spectrum. Neck (I haven't measured) but I'd guess its a little over 0.9 at 1st fret. a nice full profile.... 58/59 maybe?
I"m head over heels in love!
Is an OMG guitar.
To me, I guess if I had to have a type this is my type. I just think its perfection (with the imperfections)
Wabi-sabi !
