I wasn't aware that Carroll Benoit was making Weissenborn-style guitars, but there is a beautiful koa on his website. I'm familiar with his resos and they are hard to beat for tone and beauty. I would think his Weiss is the same.

I also like the headstock design. The shape reminds me of a Brauchli, but the back is enclosed and not slotted all the way through. I wish I had an extra $3k laying around. I'd buy it!

	Grizz says: 4/1/2011 5:17:05 PM He makes some "over the top" beautiful instruments. He is going places NO other luthier has gone with his Reso's. Maybe the group could all pool together and buy one and do the time share thing? lmao
