That shop also had the only D130 I've ever seen.
Never heard of a D-130! Pls fill me in (with pics, specs, and value if possible).
Thanks,

Well I hate to do that because I'll get something wrong, but I'll give it my best shot......Hans feel free to jump in.
I think the one I played was actually a DC130, with the carved heel. Personally, I think the model was an acoustic flop......stunningly beautiful guitar, but a flop nevertheless. The guitar is a standard dread sized body in solid maple.......including the top. It's bound in abalone, all the way around, around the soundhole and up the neck, with abalone cloud fretmarkers. I think there were around 20 built. The "flop" part is the maple top....beautiful, but maple just doesn't vibrate like spruce and it left much to be desired, though in fairness, the one I played had very old strings on it. Sticker on the one I played was $5000, but they would have come down considerably. That was a couple of years ago.
