bouche Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 If you ever get a chance, go visit Lauzon's Music. I popped in yesterday to say hi to papa dave and he gave me a little tour of the coolest additions to their collection. A Moog synth was about $3800 and super amazing. Dave made it sing with only a few keypresses and knob turnings. But the real treasure was the this piece of art. I played some C and Fmaj7 on it. woohoo! R. Taylor's stash of this extremely rare, highly figured wood came from a famous tree in Honduras' Chicibul jungle. The tree, which was over 100 feet in height and 10 feet in diameter at the base, was felled in 1965, but toppled backwards into a ravine. Even after being cut in half, the log couldn't be pulled out, so it lay untouched for 18 years, until intrepid loggers cut it into quarters with chainsaws and went to incredible lengths — dragging, trucking, and floating the pieces for over 170 miles to an ancient steam-powered sawmill for processing.R. Taylor has built four guitars with this stunning wood; there are nine remaining sets.one of these are at Lauzon's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Sanchez Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Here's a pic of the back of the one we have. This guitar sounds as good as it looks. Sometimes I feel like my job title is "candy shop currator" We really have some amazing peices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Sanchez Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Would I have to sell a kidney to buy that? Or would I have to steal a few people's kidneys and sell those too? Not sure, what does a kidney go for these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
