| Over the last thirty-plus years I've
had the privilege of dealing with some of the world's finest luthiers.
I can honestly say that I have never met anyone who surpasses the creative
capability and craftsmanship aptitude of Douglas Harrison.
His instruments have a tasteful visual appeal and powerful tone that are
world class and comparable to the finest jazz guitars made today!
Douglas dropped in yesterday on the
way to delivering this guitar to its new owner and allowed me to take a
few shots to feature on our website. What a STUNNER this instrument
is!!! Every place you could possibly look on this instrument has
Harrison's signature attention to detail. From the bound peghead
to the sculpted tailpiece this instrument is a gem!
After popping off a few shots I pulled out
my trusty extra thick pick and trotted out a couple of jazz standards.
How can I describe the sound and playability? Effortless? Lush?
Big? Dynamic? Sorry, but words can't even come close!!!
