Mooh, you are going to love that cedar top. I have said many times here that the sweetest guitar I ever owned was a cedar topped Seagull that I paid $225.00 US for. Action like butter, sound got better every day, balance across the strings, I just don't know how it could have been better.

Having said that, I have determined that I may not die until I own a Laskin. I have played Stan Roger's Laskin, I have played several others, I have visited Grit's shop, I have seen the care that goes into the building and the inlays. These guitars are absolutely beautiful creations. The good news is that they sound and play better than they look!!! I will have one, one day.

Cute story. When I was in Toronto to perform at Rick's CD release on CIUT, I noticed that there were a bunch of Calton Cases. I have a Calton Case and am a huge believer in them. The above mentioned Seagull was lost due to me not having a quality case. So I purchased one for my Larrivee. So I get to the CD release and as I watch the other performers open their Calton cases, they were all pulling out Laskins. I told them I had a Laskin Lite, and pulled out my Larrivee.

I will have a Laskin one day. And that will be the end of my GAS. Well,...... maybe not.

All the best,

Mick
