Probably not something I'd buy, but it's damn pretty. I'd take it for a spin.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

The turtle of guitars. #goldhardwarefailboat

 

[Chad]

that's a beautiful guitar that I would never consider buying.

 

[smurfco]

I would oppose this guitar from day one.

[Pine Apple Slim]

Interesting and nice looking. I think I would like it.
I vote hot.

 

[Mark Wein]

I'd need t give it a try.

 

[sleewell]

way too classy for me but it looks nice.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

Gorgeous guitar.

I can't imagine that it would justify the cost for me no matter how good it sounded and how well it played. That's not to say it wouldn't be "worth" the cost, just that it wouldn't be the price for me. Gigging professional musician? No problem. Resigned to being a hobbyist (at this point)? No fucking way.

Can you capo a fan-fretted guitar?

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Can you capo a fan-fretted guitar?

I don't see why not. You can play a bar chord on one can't you?

 

[Dogsinplastic]

Can you capo a fan-fretted guitar?

Yes, but you'd want to go with something like the NS capos. The classical one will provide extra width, but they are not radiused.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Yes, but you'd want to go with something like the NS capos. The classical one will provide extra width, but they are not radiused.

Same is true for any guitar. For a capo to work well it should closely match the neck radius.

 

[Deep Eddy]

I vote "Not". Don't care for the look.

 

[Coralkong]

I think that is pretty hot.

Looks very well made, and the finish is beautifully done.

I'd love to try it out.

 

[bsman]

Yes, but you'd want to go with something like the NS capos. The classical one will provide extra width, but they are not radiused.

Love the NS capo -- so stable, yet so small and light!

 

[Knox in Box]

Non fanned version please.

Beautiful otherwise.

Somehow that burst looks wrong on that guitar. Makes it too busy.

Its still pretty though but not something I have any use for
