27 Dec 04 - 03:40 PM (#1365290) Subject: What Kind of Guitar? From: Ebbie Last night I saw part of a Vince Gill special. In one of the segments he played an acoustic jumbo-sized, cutaway guitar with the soundhole close to the up side (the upper bout?) What kind? I presume it was made for him, but who would be the maker? |

I don't remember the soundhole being up that far on the shoulder. What struck me was how close it was to the edge of the belly. Striking. Made me wonder about its tone. Has either of you heard one? |

From: michaelr Ebbie, I have a CD that came bundled with (I think) Acoustic Guitar Magazine that showcases a number of guitarists (including the great Phil Keaggy) playing McPhersons, and they all sound awesome. Not that that proves they're awesome guitars. But they sure are expensive. |
