| We
have been extremely pleased over the last twenty-seven years to represent
this exceptional luthier's work. Gordon Barry has been involved full
time in the pursuit of guitar building since 1980. As a one man shop, Gordon
is involved in absolutely every aspect of the design, execution and finishing
of his guitars. The clean lines and overall attention to detail set his
instruments apart from most of his competition. These instruments are one
of the few lines we carry that can genuinely be characterized as "handmade"!
Sonically his instruments
can be best characterized as extremely responsive with good overall warmth,
clarity and distinction in the bass registers, solid highs and very unique
soft, delicate midrange.
Respected as a guitar/mandolin
player, composer and recording artist in his own right, Gordon has an especially
good raport with musicians with regards to the custom aspects of
crafting a world class instrument.
His "M style" and "B-185"
instruments have attracted such players as Garnet Rogers, John Findlay,
William Elwood, Peter Mueller, actor Beau Bridges and many session players
of note. |
