Guitar made by Rolf Eichinger

Here is a new opportunity for anyone who wants to own a Rolf Eichinger guitar. As you will know if you follow me, Rolf was the master builder who taught me the most important lessons in this world of guitar. This particular guitar was built with very lightweight wood in an attempt to make the lightest guitar he had ever made. It has been played professionally by the same owner since it was purchased. You can judge the beauty of the wood for yourself and I imagine you could get a sound sample from the owner. Contact me if you are interested and I will pass on his contact details.

Kraken Tuners

I received some new guitar tuners last week and I like the look of them. I will be paying attention to what clients have to say about them. So far I like that they are lighter weight than some others and they have tension screws. I am sorry I can’t give you more information but here is the webpage so you can contact them yourselves.
