I am really excited about the Watson btw. It really solves all the problems and is an amazing guitar. Thanks a million!!!

to see what John and others have said
about the Sonic Blue, built for
John Edelmann, guitarist with Chicago-styled
bluesman Little Al Thomas.

No nonsense, I gotta tell you that Little Bluebird is just a great guitar!  I have had a bunch of extended time on her today and man she never disappoints.  Funny how she seems to ask I play a certain way...maybe I'm just weird but this guitar has the goods...in a way that a bazillion others don't.

Thanks again, J

Built for Tony Karraa, no truss rod.

Dan, I just got the guitar and love it... It's a sold piece of fine craftsmanship.. I am very satisfied!! This guitar will see lots of work. My band ( Two tone Steiny and the Cadillacs)  
[click pic above] has been nominated for a Sammie award  (Sacramento music award) for best blues act. I can't wait to play it out. It feels like an old friend.. The tone is balanced and the action feels great. I can't thank you enough... You should put a place on your site for testimonials. Loving this thing...

I have no regrets getting rid of my fave les paul... Wow!  This is the guitar I have wanted for years...Chris

The legendary British bluesman IAN SIEGAL has the above guitar with a DeArmond in bridge position. In addition to his own career he also works with the

This one is 100 pct pine with a
Resomax bridge and Duncan P90s.

Andrew Lister’s variant on the Watson design, with three Duncan mini humbuckers and a 6-way toggle switch for all pickup combinations (like a gear shifter!). That’s available through the good folks at Stewart MacDonald.

This one os a bolt-on maple neck with a limba
(korina) body. A huge favorite of mine!

Thanks Andy!
