Looks my new Tony Francis Weissenborn should be arriving sometime in the next few weeks. I am getting pretty excited about this, to say the least. I've been a one-Weisse-guitar guy for over 20 years now (mid-1920's style 1) but after playing one of Tony's guitars a couple of years ago I knew I would have to order one. I've never played anything that so faithfully replicates the tone/playability of my vintage Weissenborn (and believe me, I've played lots of very fine replicas!).

Can't wait!

It should be great. Is it going to be a Style One? I traded a few emails with Tony. He is a nice guy. I appreciate how he is building "true" to the originals with hide glue and such. I look forward to pictures. I also have to say that I like your website. I wish I still lived in Chicago, as I'd be knocking on your door for lessons. Z.I.
RobA says: 3/5/2011 3:53:07 PM Hey Z: Yep, I'm having him make me a style 1 guitar. I love the simple elegance of the style 1 design! Thanks for your nice comments on my website. Appreciate that! BTW, I just started offering lessons via Skype and I have to tell you - after doing my first lesson today I am pretty excited about the possibilities of doing lessons this way. It works even better than I thought it would... Thanks again!
