Comments	Ken is a truly gifted luthier. The workmanship, his choices, the clean lines, and the brilliant resonance of this instrument is simply magnificent. The high trebles really sing while the lows boom at you. Separation of voice coupled with a romantic personality leaves you with a very special guitar. The guitar has an earthy gutty sound that surrounds you with a woody feeling that is all encompassing. The lilting, singing trebles can only be attributed to Ken's workmanship and the Brazilian, typical of well made Braz guitars. The romantic nature clearly comes from the Cedar top. Coupled with exquisite work, feather-weight super easy playability, this guitar shows us, with out a doubt, that Ken's instruments are and will continue to be highly prized in the coming years. This beautiful guitar is a Custom Build from Ken - same woods as his September 2009 but larger scale at 660mm length and a 54mm nut with wider string spacing. The client was upset that the older Brazilian RW guitar was too small for him. He loves it and so will you.
Sound Files	The Morning Song - this excerpt from the piece was recorded on September 26, 2009. Sound is straight thru with no noise reduction, no filters, just a touch of reverb For those interested in the piece, I wrote this in dedication to my home, my land and the live saltwater lake in my backyard and how it feels in the morning. My book of original solo guitar music is available in our sheet music catalog.
