Comments

 

I am continually impressed with the level of craftsmanship that Kenny and his staff bring to the table.  It is clear that Kenny is unsatisfied with a static approach to his guitar building and experimentation.  This Signature Series guitar simply floors you with its astounding power, simplicity of play and sweet booming basses & trebles.  The workmanship is exquisite.  The guitar is outstanding.

 

A quick note on the trebles along with the balance, projection and ease of play.  First thing is that I've had my hands on many of the Australian makers guitars.  They are beautiful instruments, very loud, but honestly, not too sweet.  I mean Spanish sweet.  Sure...be mad at me, but this is my opinion, not yours.   Anyway, from talking with Kenny and Larry Darnell, and reading thru his on-line journal, it becomes clear that Kenny is searching for something.  My brief conversation with him this Saturday morning before Easter Sunday was centered on, "Do you remember what you did with this guitar, keep notes, etc"?  I had to ask him if this was able to be recreated and or use this guitar as a benchmark.  Well, Kenny assured me that this is the benchmark and for good reason....

 

This guitar is the Spruce equivalent of #2864.  Playing her again just recently, I've come to the realization that this guitar is simply outrageous.  Powerful, clear, singing and ringing.  She plays way easy while sounding incredible.  Inspiring is the word that comes to mind.  Simply inspiring.
