I’d like to officially introduce a new addition to the family: Herb Taylor custom bouzouki #262. He has been named “Finbar” (due to the F holes).
- Red cedar arch top
- Curly Maple back and sides
- Top sound hole
- All courses unison (GG-DD-aa-dd)
- Open headstock w/ locking Spertzel tuners
- Arm rest
- Pick guard
- David Enke “Open to Source Sensors” saddle pickup
Herb is a world-class luthier based in Golden, CO (about an hour from my house), and he has built custom bouzoukis for some of the best players in the world. Unbeknownst to me, he built this instrument while building my custom order, and used many of the same specs and features. I strummed it one time, and immediately decided he needed to come home with me. He has several splendid instruments looking for good homes – check ’em out here:
