| Mark Thibeault and Jason Friesen already have
a great reputation for their reso-phonic square necks, but I've been
picking up more & more of a buzz lately with regards to their Weissenborn-style
instruments ... so much so that we just had to order one!
Per Mark Thibeault; "We set out to build
a lightly constructed but strong guitar with maximum tone and durability.
We brace our Hawaiian guitars with Adirondack spruce. It's rigidity
allows us to lighten the construction by making the braces narrow.
This helps to maximize the resonance. The bracing pattern is quite
traditional except the back and tops are slightly arched. All joints
are clean and tight."
What a spectacularly RESONANT instrument
this is!!! We have already shown this one to a couple of the more
accomplished players around town. They were impressed to say the
least (and they are hard to impress!) |
