Thank you, Derby. Your street shots helped inspire me to move in more. Here're the deets on the guitar:
-------------------- Frank, it's a Del Vecchio from Brazil: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del_Vecchio_(guitar_maker) Most likely one of the Dinâmico guitars. John told me it's an antique. It's certainly really well used; half of the soundhole grills are missing or caved in. They used gorgeous Brazilian wood in the top plate. Apparently rare outside Brazil, but semi-famous because Chet Atkins played one. The construction is dubious and they're often out of tune, but this one sounded wonderful, I thought. -------------------- On Sat, Sep 22, 2012 at 7:10 AM, Derby Chang <der...@iinet.net.au> wrote: > > > Really beautifully intimate, especially because of the restrained colour.
