WOW!

Those are KILLER! Perhaps I'm not the world's craziest guitar nut after all.

Russ I thought you would have two of each by now... Lololol

And have you seen Langcaster guitars from New Zealand made from 35,000 year old swamp Kauri. I have actually played one of these. A beautiful guitar and the wood looks very similar to petrified wood with a marble like grain. I guess after 35,000 years it is well on the way. Many even have amber embedded in the bodies. You can see what I mean when you see the guitars at http://www.langcaster.com/

Langcaster make their own lo-impedence pickup electronics that have an onboard gain control.





Just by chance I met a local guitar player who owned one and let me play it. He couldn't actually buy it direct from New Zealand due to export restrictions I guess due to the age of the wood. He had to get someone in Australia to buy it and then they sent it to him in the USA.

I'm not a guitarist, but those are a fine looking instrument. Quality seems to shine right out of them.
