| Post subject: | Batson Guitars |
Does anybody know very much about these guitars? I recently stumbled across them and have been reading up on them. Their idea has really stuck in my mind. Just about having an acoustic guitar with no soundhole on the top at all, but on the side. Almost like a big soundport but there is no soundhole on the top. I am just so curious as to what this would sound like. So I thought I'd put this on here incase I could get any info. Also if anybody has played one I would LOVE to hear what you have to say about it. |

I've seen them advertised, but I haven't heard or played one, sorry. It seems to me like the general concensus is that it's very hard to sell anything that's "non-standard". If you like the idea, why don't you bite the bullet and give it a go? Good luck! Cheers, Dave F. |

I've played one of his older guitars. It's considerably different than the new ones though. A good friend of mine owns one. I helped him out with a Mac Ebony headplate a few years back. The guitar I've played of his was nice. It was a soft sounding guitar, but very interesting visually. His new stuff looks cool. |
