New Baby...
Well... she is on her way. My Versoul Raya 6-String guitar is on the way from Kari Nieminen in Finland. She is only the 304th guitar this master has built... and he has been doing it since the 1990's! He has also made guitars for Billy Gibbons (a 'Raya Blue Light' guitar), and some for Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones too! He has also made two for me previously, including his Kenny Burrell Jazz model acoustic. My current guitar was inspired by Brian Setzer's Champagne Sparkle Jet... here are the build photos of the guitar that is in transit... more info to come soon... (also a photo of a Champagne Sparkle Jet by Gretsch).
