lambone,
are those Breedloves you're talking about the same company started by Larry Breedlove? When I worked at Taylor guitars I remember Larry worked there at the time, this was back in the late nineties. I'm wondering whether he went back to doing his own thing or sold the company and still works for Taylor Guitars.

What does a Languedoc actually cost?
Nice unit, but even with a TS808 and a drummer wearing a dress and playing an electrolux vaccuum cleaner...you still won't sound like Trey!

Didn't buy a Doc to sound like Trey bro, but thanks for the solid advice.
Dirt Claud, I'm not really sure who steers Breeedlove but sounds feasible. Check their website...

Sure man, whatever you say...let's just put it this way, neither you, nor I, nor anybody else would have ever heard of PL if he wasn't A) Builder of Trey's and some of Mike's guitars and B) The sound engineer for the band.
$7500 for a G4, not bad for a handbuilt instrument of that quality.

If any of you are in the market, I could be convinced to give a 'climber discount'...
Here's a recent custom archtop that I built for a customer in Florida.
Single piece curly Redwood top, Claro Walnut back and sides.
The scoop on the bass side is for more access to the upper frets with the thumb (talked him out of a double cutaway).

slight drift from the Ebay thread
Climbers, be cautious about doing business with FS Music in Florida. Email me for some realistic feedback on this seller.

There are times I wish I was rich....I'd have a BIG room full of beautiful guitars...there'd be a wall of Blanchard guitars fer sur! Those are some gorgeous works of are, I can only imagine the sound. Metheny is one of my favorite guitarist, he can make you cry with his sound.
Peace

OK, so it's obviously NOT a guitar, but since you folks brought up the mando's, and since violins and mando's are keyed the same, here's my #1 git-fiddle (steel strings, filed bridge and fine tuners on all 4 strings even...)
No, salad, you DIDN'T make a mistake!! This instrument is most certainly better quality than I deserve (an unmarked German instrument dated late 18th/early 19th century. Scroll and body are original; one grafting noted), and the bows (one in particular) are scary beautiful - tone, weight and craftsmanship. I can in no way, everEVER do any of these pieces of art justice...
Thank you, all, for inspiring me to get more acquainted with my baby!

I really can't play when I'm climbing a lot. My hands just don't have the energy to shred on the fretboard and the rock wall at the same time. I just got a new guitar and I haven't really climbed at all lately because of it. It's sad that the two activities don't really go hand in hand for me. As much as I love climbing, there's no better feeling for me than hitting those huge chords and melting peoples faces with a guitar solo at 185 bpm.

The fewer crimpers, the better my guitar playing.
This is a 7-string lap guitar from a few years back, a tricone resonator, nickel-plated brass. The "M" on the aluminum peghead goes all the way through. I've been getting inquiries about 8-string models, that's on the docket for this year.
