NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

I've been bottom feeding on Trademe.. Paris Banchetti was an Italian born luthier who settled in Miami. He built a reputation for his Brazilian Rosewood classical guitars. (Muriel Anderson plays a Banchetti). He also made a few steel strings modeled on pre war Martins. This is one of them. Banchett...

9 days from Tokyo to my front door for my PRS CU24 to be delivered :) As someone else said, there must be a guitar nerd that works at Customs and just let this one through without collecting duty. The guitar itself is super comfortable and easy to play. Sounds fantastic as well. This one has the HF...

So nice Jay. That's an earlier version of the Artist double-cut guitar, right? Which pickups? The Super-70s or something else? The black looks classy.

I measured my one on my 5kg rated kitchen scale and it clocks in at 4368 grams. About the same as my Gibson LP

was that before or after you cleaned it up?

So intrigued I googled 2681. Ibanez Wiki says 2681 Bob Weir model has an vine inlay up the neck. 2680 has dot inlays. Potentially contradicting what’s been revealed so far. Even More intrigued now! You could be right, I thought the vine inlay came later, or was an option? Jay will know. :-) This ph...

I googled it once. I’m an expert.

I can't fault your research there!

Being serious, the side of the binding looks too well executed to be Gibson. But, the fret profile (as murky described) is quite Gibson, as are the nibs. Side dots are small...not a Gibson norm, more Asian. Are those fancy inlays replacements? One looks like it has had a repair around it. Common th...

you looking at the nibs?

I reckon that looks classy now...good job. Those are a really versatile guitar too.

Very nice guitar indeed, and it must weigh almost nothing...?

"oh yeah, the boy can play"

Such a lovely guy,as well as a monster player. Jazz on a Tele: it's a thing.
