Guy Clark Built A Guitar for Lyle Lovett!
Singer and songwriter Guy Clark has built ten or twelve guitars in his basement in Nashville, Tennessee. He gives away most of them.
This flamenco-style nylon-string guitar has Cambodian rosewood back and sides, giving it a remarkable deep-red color.
He enjoyed putting it into the hands of Lyle Lovett, someone he deeply respects.
Guy can’t say this one’s his favorite as he loves them all, but this one’s the flashiest. Look at that inlay!
The Cambodian rosewood is very dense and heavy and hard to thin out right, he says.
He finished it with a classic French polish.
The April 2007 issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine featured Guy Clark on the cover and this guitar on the last page. See the online version.
