An interweaving mosaic and chevron center at the headstock offer an intricate aesthetic to complement such premium tonewoods. Tuners are Landstorfers with MOP buttons; 650mm scale but a 49mm nut width and slender neck profile for an extra comfortable playing experience.

Special thanks to the Lord for providing such a wonderful and special instrument for me to play. I love playing this guitar and hearing the overtones and colors that remind me of God's love and care.

New Hush C Classical Guitar
Arriving today!
Using this as a practice guitar I can leave out in room all day and pick up anytime I want to practice or write or arrange on. Currently I have to take the David LaPlant out of the case and set it all up and that takes time then goes back in case. This will be nice to just play any time any place. And it is a great travel guitar too. And I can also use headphones only so I dont drive Barb crazy with playing same thing over and over which I always do to learn a song. I will provide MP3 examples on this page soon once i get it.
The Lord has provided other great instruments for me to play and I am truly blessed and thankful. I also have a Yamaha FG 140 Red Label from the 60's I purchased when I was I think 11 or so years old. I also have a Taylor 414 Koa that is about 26 years old. The Taylor has a K&K pickup which is nice. I have an Grote electric that is a lot of fun to play also at times. Finally I have a Glarry bass that is wonderful too. Such fun instruments and I am very thankful for them.
I will try and add photos later.
