Comments |
Ken is a truly gifted
luthier. The workmanship, his choices, the clean lines, and the
brilliant resonance of this instrument is simply magnificent. The
high trebles really sing while the lows boom at you. Separation of
voice coupled with a romantic personality leaves you with a very special
guitar. The guitar has an earthy gutty sound that surrounds you
with a woody feeling that is all encompassing.
The lilting, singing trebles can only be attributed to Ken's workmanship
and the Brazilian, typical of well made Braz guitars. The romantic
nature clearly comes from the Cedar top. Coupled with exquisite
work, feather-weight super easy playability, this guitar shows us, with out a doubt, that Ken's instruments
are and will continue to be highly prized in the coming years.
This
beautiful guitar ended up selling a Custom Build from Ken - same woods
but larger scale at 660mm length and a 54mm nut with wider string
spacing. The client was upset that this guitar was too small for
him. He loved it and so will you.

Sound Files |
The Morning Song - this
is an excerpt from the piece. Sound is straight thru with no noise reduction, no filters,
just a touch of reverb For those
interested in the piece, I wrote this in dedication to my
home, my land and the live saltwater lake in my backyard and how it
feels in the morning. My book of original solo guitar music is available
in our sheet music catalog. |
