Re: NGD for my pal Richard

Is this the 10k guitar as previously mentioned? Nice, but I bet it doesn't sound 10 times better than a 1k guitar!

Re: NGD for my pal Richard

No, this is a different one and a little more expensive than the previous one. smile

Good grief that's beautiful!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: NGD for my pal Richard

WOW! Beautiful!

Looking at the first pic with all the inlay I immediately thought it was a D-45 with a 5 digit price tag. Scrolled down and saw the D-41 so I was close.

I don't think I'll ever be able to justify that kind of jingle for a guitar but they sure are purrty to look at.

Richard had some antique paintings hanging on his wall that his father had left him. He did not really like them and they did not suit his new apartment so he has decided sell them and invest the money in something that he likes and could make use of.

He might have a third that is customised especially for him, but he is only talking about that at the moment. smile

I did suggest that this D12-35 might make a great Christmas present...... for me lol

Happy NGD. A friend in Wyoming purchased one  and I got to play it. Way more Bling than my D-41.  Enjoy your new friend.

Re: NGD for my pal Richard

That's a gorgeous guitar your friend has, Roger. I wouldn't want to guess how many hours it took to do all of the inlay work ... incredible.

Would you like to take a stab at how many hours were spent on the inlay work of this D-100?
