Now in stock is a Tasmanian Blackwood Burgin Weissenborn. Made recently, this guitar comes complete with all the sweet overtones you’d expect from the premium tonewood Arcacia melanoxyn (the cousin of koa). Visually it has the expected depth of the dense fiddle back grain that’s a feature of these fine trees. And nicely bordered with workshop made rope binding made from maple and jarrah.
It is priced at US 3850 including hard case and shipping worldwide. I am happy to take enquiries at paddyburgin@gmail.com A brief sound byte is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6VkPopSnMk
Also in stock at the moment is a David Lindley model Style One. Mr Dave played live extensively with two Burgins of this model for more than fifteen years. The top back and sides are sapele mahogany. Price $2680 US including hard case and shipping. (anywhere in the world) I am good to chat at paddyburgin@gmail.com and answer any questions.
We also have in stock some beautiful walnut sets from a massive ancient tree stump in the province of Waikato – when a 200 year old tree was blown over. We have made several instruments from this tree and in our view it’s one of the ultimate tone woods.
