That is without doubt, a CLASSIC guitar.
Pleasant to look at and I'm confident it sounds as great as it looks.
Thanx for sharing.............. |

That beauty brings to mind Gibson's "White Falcon"
..of course that was a standard guitar and there
were only a few made??
George, congrats on a "stunning" steel guitar.
Roy

I remember the Gretch White Falcons, but
not the Gibson ones. Any photos possibly?
The white steel is very nice George! |

Yet another beauty, George. Good choice, Andy. Hope you'll post a video or sound sample to demo the Islander.

| I have never heard of a Gibson White Falcon, however I have a Gretch White Falcon which I will post as soon as the Islander arrives. It was supposed to be here yesterday but I guess I have to wait another day. |

I hope the white stays clean and doesn't change to yellow over the years.
Another great-looking instrument, George, which I'm sure sounds as good as it looks. |

| Nice guitars, Andy. You'll need a gold-plated tone bar to match the Islander. |
