Bubinga baby!

Elderly has a whole bunch of not-the-usual-suspects resophonics on their site right now including a stunning bubinga model by Paul Beard as well as some 30's guitars at okay prices. FYI

One thing about Elderly, their photographs are excellent and plentiful. You can really see detail as well as all angles.

And that ain't no joke! Image

Hey guys - I didn't see anything there that looked as good as our guitars, did you?

Well ... as far as I'm concerned, in general, there's Benoit and then there's everything else. But I would sure like to sit down wih one of Paul Beard's new Mike Auldridge guitars.

I certainly agree with both of you.

I think that we are all fortunate that there are a fair amount of over the top luthiers who make an excellent resophonic guitar.

I too, would also love to sit down with about a dozen different resonators.
