Joan Baez

Joan's guitar work on "Pretty Boy Floyd" is what got me into fingerstyle in the 60's.  And she does have great taste in guitars.  I must also congratulate Mr. Trump on this day, and if I can find a picture of him with a guitar, I will be sure to post it on this Blog.

Xaver Guitars

This left-handed grand concert guitar features a bearclaw sitka spruce soundboard and figured walnut back and sides. The binding is East Indian rosewood and the fingerboard, bridge, headstock veneer and backstrapping is ebony. A Laskin-style armrest and fast action make this guitar very comfortable to play. The side sound port allows the player to hear every nuance of the guitar's rich tone. This guitar was a custom build including a turquoise and mother-of-pearl rosary inlay on the fingerboard and headstock. Although this guitar is sold, if it interests you, give Gerry a shout and he'll build one like it just for you.

This Fender Jazzmaster has been with me for a lot of years, and I must say, it is really a joy to play.  The bridge humbucker is a Seymore Duncan that I installed around 1990--everything else is original except for a little solder
