THE COOLEST GUITAR YOU'LL SEE TODAY - RALPH BOWN PRAIRIE STATE

When I heard that my friends at The Guitar Showroom had taken in this wonderful instrument I knew I had to film it for my channel!

One of the greatest acoustic sounds I have ever heard is Stefan Grossman's Larson Brothers Prairie State and this loving recreation by UK Luthier Ralph Bown is one of the coolest acoustic guitars I have come across. 

I absolutely love custom handmade guitars - the range of beautiful options is limited only by the player's imagination and a great deal of this openhearted approach to the design and voice of the steel string guitar can be attributed to The Larson Brothers as much as CF Martin and Orville Gibson.

Explore this guitar with me in this new video.

I'll see you in the next one, until then stay tuned
