Bill Asher builds phenomenal guitars. He personally chooses the wood and builds the guitar by himself from scratch. Tremendous craftsmanship by a guy who knows and understands how a guitar should feel, sound, and respond. The go to guy for LA session players and great musicians like Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt. $4700.
You have to try these short scale (24 3/4") Classics. Easier to bend, easier to fret, easier to play. It also doesn't hurt that it is built by Anderson! $3574 list.
