Went and saw my good friends at Prestige again on Thursday.
This particular guitar has a total build run of 100 guitars built over a number of years. It is the Devon Townsend "Empath" Signature Series. This year's run was only 10 guitars, as sourcing Toriffied Adirondack Spruce was difficult. Toriffied at the same place that Fender, Martin etc use in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Adirondack Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back and sides, Flame Maple bevels in the 3 cutaways, Mahogany neck with Ebony fingerboard and bridge.
I was on a back order/pre order for close to a year waiting for production. They were ready for shipping/playing on Thursday morning. The cool part was I had an invite to be the first to play all 10 of this years production as soon as they were completed and pick the one that I connected with. I ended up with #46, amazing guitar. Has a Fishman pick up as well.
10 "identical" instruments, all a little different. #46 had a slightly brighter sound, which I like, and a near perfect book end top.
