Thread Name: Jan Burda's Guitars
Subject: RE: Jan Burda's Guitars
I bought a beautiful 000 Burda guitar about 8 years ago from Jim Craig at Hogeye up in Evanston, IL. I hadn't seen Jan in about 10 years previous to that, but I remembered how great a luthier he was, so when I saw this guitar hanging on the wall, I grabbed it. It is almost exactly the same size as a rare 1961 Martin 00028c that I played for a long time, but sounds much better and louder too! I spoke to Jim Craig the other day and he said Jan is still up in Michigan and still building them!
