I saw the photo too.

 

I used to have one but sold it. It was a beautiful 12 fret rosewood/spruce model with block inlays on the fret board, a torch inlay on the headstock and a bound neck and headstock. Pretty limited quantity. Wish I could have kept it...

I found this one in the Acoustic photos thread. In fact Dotneck, you were the one who posted it. It's was originally posted by Onewilleyfool.

JG-there was a thread on this in the old forum (too bad the archive went down with the old site).

 

Anyway, as I recall, everyone seemed to think the thing was exceptional sweet/rich but not especially loud/projective. Sounds about right (concert body, short scale RW). Kind of like a kid bro to your Smeck! Probably less treble than a Martin 00-28 (which is more AJ-like, ie more note separation). jk
