Kopp K 35 - Kopp Guitars Definitely tempted. Quite a bit less $$ to get ‘em used… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 At 6k I’ll stand out of anyone’s way of buying it. I’m sure it’s a primo axe, but that’s a lot of weed I could buy with 6k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first I’ve heard of these guitars. Just took a look at them after your post. Edited January 12, 2023 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Several years back when I decided I wanted to go in a what for me was a "and now for something completely different" direction, I turned my attention to offerings from Kopp, Walker, Triggs, Fairbanks, Flammang and other "booteek" builders. Problem was unless you have a top-notch purveyor of musical goodies within a couple of hour drive finding any of these guitars new or used can be a hard row to hoe. We actually do have a shop which fits the bill about two hours away in Pittsburg which on a good day will have a few used Kopps, Walkers and others in stock. But then we got smacked in the face by one of those "life is what happens when you are making other plans" things and the pandemic lockdown hit. Several months later though I did get me that guitar although I ended up going with a used Fairbanks. It turned out be the last guitar I ever bought as since then I have not been able to return to that place where I can muster up whatever it takes to get me to walk out of a shop empty handed without feeling one twinge of regret or second thinking my decision.

jheath Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I haven't seen a Kopp around for a while, but there's a used Fairbanks F-35 for sale on the AGF - no affiliation with the seller. I know you wanted a Kopp, but I will say that Fairbanks guitars are exceptionally good if you're interested in something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holiday Hoser Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I wonder if he came out of Gibson in Bozeman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He worked in the Bozeman shop, specifically a long stretch running the custom shop. I haven't had a chance to play any of his guitars but look forward to being able to some day.

Kopp, Walker and Triggs came out of the early Custom Shop. From what I can gather Fairbanks took what he learned from repairing pre-War instruments while throwing in a few twists such as reverse kerfing.
