Healdsburg Guitar Festival

John Osthoff brought three guitars. My favorite was the all-Koa 12-fret.

I didn't get a chance to play the guitars of Kent Hamblin. I was going to go back to his exhibit later, but I forgot.

                   

Rod Schenk brought several guitars, including a Brazilian Rosewood/Sinker Rosewood FE Grand Fingerstyle featuring his new Micro Bevel. He also brought a guitar with his new ISD Tuner, a tuner which illuminates the 15th, 17th, and 19th fretboard dots to indicate proper string pitch.

Michihiro Matsuda brought a classical, steel string, and a harp guitar (not pictured). The steel string features a longer scale 6th string that tunes to D. A built-in capo puts it in standard tuning.

                   

James Goodall brought several guitars including a Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Traditional Dreadnought and two Royal Hawaiians (a CJ and a GC). My favorite was a Brazilian Rosewood/Redwood 14-fret Parlour.

Bruce Sexauer brought several small body guitars, including an all-Mahogany, which was my favorite.

I have seen photographs of the Dovetail Madness guitar built by Howard Klepper and it is quite impressive in person.
