This guitar was built at The Wayne Henderson School of Appalachian Arts in Marion, VA. There were five students and three master luthiers in the class I attended. I wish I could say I built it, but I had a lot help from the three master luthiers. I can say it is a one of one and it is the best playing guitar I’ve ever played. And to quote an old Shake and Bake TV commercial, “ And I helped”.

Show off! Are those all yours? If I was going to grab an electric guitar (which I do every once in a while) it'd be that maple Gibson in the middle of your photo.Lansky1 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 16, 2025 9:14 pmBill - I'm late to the guitar players party on the previous page ... your acoustic looks fantastic - wish I could say I built my favorite guitar.

Re: DO YOU........................CANOE ?
Great looking axes you got there I play mostly acoustic, but have a few old electrics as well. Don't have pictures of most of my accumulation. Guess I'll need to work on that.Lansky1 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 16, 2025 9:14 pmBill - I'm late to the guitar players party on the previous page ... your acoustic looks fantastic - wish I could say I built my favorite guitar.

My guitar{s} are more like my psychiatrist. Playing keeps me (relatively) sane. To paraphrase Bob McDill's "Amanda": "I got my first guitar when I was 14 (true), now I'm over 70 and still wearing jeans (also true).

Wow, it seems that canoe pattern pocket knives and stringed instruments have a cosmic connection!!

Thanks TMK.
