I guess most people who've been here a while know something about the Doug Irwin/Thomas Lieber connection. I love the new Stage Further and Wolf models recently unveiled on this site. I see now that Lieber is building sort of a "Stage" version of his Garcia model. Check it out - it's pretty cool: Lieber LG74

Tastes of course are personal. The Gruhn hurts my eyes and for some reason I find it upsetting.

That is one scary ugly guitar. Looks heavy too.

Looks sort of like the horns got squished. That binding looks pretty bad too (not badly constructed, just ugly).

Gee, everybody's dissing the shape on this thing. Allow me to stand apart from the crowd and say that the inlays are really lame.
