Guitar Eye Candy
Ken Parker just sent me some pics of his most recent work of art and I though some of you might enjoy it.
Below are Kens words about his creation:
Here are some photos of "Semeur", my latest guitar. The name means both "sower" and "mischief - maker" in French.
Semeur is built with curly mahogany from Belize, curly Sitka spruce from Alaska, Douglas fir, and ebony.
Weighing 1.7 kilos, she has a big voice, and is very versatile.
My first guitar on the continent!
I couldn't wait for the website, so this is an unedited preview.
Happy Spring to everyone.
Peace,
Ken
Now for the details.... Nice work Ken!!! (click the images to enlarge)

Dave,
ReplyDeleteI played one of Ken's archtops ~6 years ago at the Healdsburg guitar festival. Aside from the fact that it's a physical masterpiece, it's also one of the most acoustically compelling guitars I have ever played. Thanks for sharing,
Stunning instrument! I hope I have the opportunity to meet one in person some day. I have a closet full of arch tops and none of them look like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks
