Here is something that might be of interest to the advanced kit builder who would like to concentrate on the classical guitar: http://cgi.ebay.com/Special-Torres-La-L ... 240%3A1318 |

That looks like a pretty nice kit. Do you know the seller? |

I know rhe seller "Steve K" and he is a good friend and from what John has said, a mentor to John Hall. He is an excellent luthier. He doesn't participate in the forum's much if at all. I bought my rig (press) to attach tops and backs to rims from him, plus some materials. Although never bought a kit from him, I can say without reservation, If he says it, you can take it to the bank. He is a man of his word. He I think has participated in the various shows like Healdsburg etc. |

Thanks Stan for the kind words about my kits and my work. That kit was unusual and very cool, you're not likely to see another like it. Though I do offer standard mahogany and rosewood kits in the popular D and 000 14 fret configurations I am always much more interested in generating and selling unusual and sometimes unique kits when the available parts allow me to do so. I've offered a lot of interesting stuff that you don't find available through any other seller over the years like Ditson style kits and other archaic sizes, styles or configurations. Steve Kovacik |
