No one?

OK hint time - This builder is best known for making a guitar for John McLaughlin and hails from the land of great bread, wine, and the city of love...... (not Amsterdam...... :D )

One of the many things that struck me about this beautiful guitar is that it is made with many of the woods that we use on the light side of guitar building. Mahogany, ebony, maple, and the dark flanks of the body are rosewood.

Way-to-go Darren!!!!!!! [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap]

I am not the biggest electric fan but after drooling over JJ's "Emily" I found myself looking at them and wanting one - again.......

I found this site that has some pretty cool builders listed:http://www.destroyallguitars.com/directories/arrivals.html

Thanks everyone for participating!!! [:Y:]
