Yes sir, thanks Christopher for the kind words.

Lovely, Gregory, just lovely. You are building these?

Thanks for clearing that up Edward.  The bridge is made out of Tiger maple to match the back/sides/headstock.  The fretboard is curly rock maple, and the binding is peruvian nogal walnut.  Here are a couple more pictures.

Hi Gregory,

Wow, what a beautiful guitar!  I guess the one that Ted posted looked like a copy of three companies, as I mentioned.  When I said that they copied Martins and Gibsons closely in the 70's, I was NOT referring to Pizzecci brand at all, although my wording made it sound like that.  I was making a general statement about copying the name brands by Japanese companies...Ibanez was the biggest copy company, so much so that they were sued by all the big American companies and had to change their designs...which spurred the name "Lawsuit guitars."  Takamine was also a big copycat company.  One of my bandmates has a Tak 12 string that from 10' away looks just like a Martin D-28-12...even the decal on the headstock looks like it says Martin, but upon closer inspection it say Takamine!  I never heard of the Pizzecci brand until Ted's picture.  Yours is gorgeous!  What is the bridge made of?  More info and pictures PLEASE!  Thanks, Edward

Pizzecci Guitars is relatively new to the acoustic world, Edward I don't know where you got your information about them copying other brands in the 70's but Pizzecci has only been around since 2008.

Ted, the Pizzecci guitars...looking at the picture I see it has a Martin body, Takemine headstock and a Taylor bridge...In the 70's they copied Martins and Gibsons so close it was scary...now they just copy three guitars in one!  ;-)  Edward "

Ed, thanks for the info on Harptones.  I just found an interesting bit of info about George Harrison's Harptones on this link.

I remember seeing pictures of George Harrison and Ringo Starr with a Harptone! I was in NYC a couple of years ago and they had George's on display at the Hard Rock Cafe.  I know there is a 45 record (remember them) with Ringo playing one too.  They had that distinctive headstock...

See George's Harptone 2nd back from the front on the right of the picture:

Does anyone else own a Harptone.  I own a Harptone 12-string which I bought new in 1973 for $275.  The body is 21" long from neck to tail.  The upper bout is 12-3/4" wide, the waist is 10-1/2" wide and the lower bout is 17" wide.  The sides are 5" at the tail, 4-3/4" at the lower bout, 4-3/8" at the waist, 4-1/8" at the upper bout, and 4" at the neck.  The back is deeply arched and unbraced.  The guitar is loud.  There are other photos on my page.  If interested, come take a look.

HI all. Just heard a really quirky and talented trio called "We're About Nine". If you ever have the chance to see them..well....see them.
