bayoubengal1954 Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 I have a feeling they will go at boutique prices. The New Yorker style at the 10:22 mark sounds intriguing, but probably too rich for my blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Thanx for this update. So cool that Ferguson is ready to take another round. Will be exciting to follow, , , and not least hear what he/they have created. Wish them luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimt Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Pretty cool. They have to get some TShirts and goodies on the go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I do wish Ren and his son all the luck in the world. Sorry to say though that while I certainly acknowledge the skill involved when it comes inlay, translucent blue finishes and whatever it is lost on me. What I did find intriguing is the back bracing on that New Yorker-esque guitar. Starts off as a thinner flat V and looks to get progressively thicker moving to a half round and then a full round carve at the butt end. This is a kind of a take of a really old school Martin design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard McCoy Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Neither the headstock nor the bridge design was revealed, the de-facto hallmarks of any guitar builder and a major selling point. As boutique guitar builders, I think Ferguson & Son will do fine regardless. Ren still championing the J-185 design is more than charming.

This is a kind of a take of a really old school Martin design. Yes, the New Yorker inspired model is interesting to me as well. Here is the first one. This one has Brazilian Rosewood B/S From the video it sounded like regular offerings will have either Koa or Spalted Maple. I guess for bigger bucks one could ask for different woods for a Custom Build. Edited February 22, 2021 by bayoubengal1954 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Rehlmann Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 The custom order @ t=6:16 , why to go from 12 fret to the 13 fret design "pushes the bridge deeper into the body" Ren says? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just guessing that a 13 fretter long scale may push it deeper than a 12 fretter short scale? The long scale should be more powerful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 The guy builds killer guitars and works of art but he puts Co. on the headstock and what its too close to a Martin. Get real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure some of the planets just stopped their orbit due to you agreeing with me. I like the headstock, it looks like more of what you would see on a classical guitar.

bayoubengal1954 Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Well, after hearing from Chad at Music Villa I have learned the pricing will be as I feared (actually worse). The instruments will be in the neighborhood of $6500. Oh well. It was fun to dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its Braz RW and made by Ren, you better get ready to sell a kidney to get it or be the owner of a major sports team to afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
