My trip to Asher Guitars

Mitch Crane · From: 1000 Oaks, CA

Just before Christmas I went to Bill Asher's shop to check out his Style 1 and Teardrop acoustic lap steels as well as his electics. What a great opreration he's got, and a terrirific, down to earth gentleman.. And his instruments... whoa!... Sweet !

Well, I came home with both... A breathtaking Style 1 Koa and a Mahogany Teardrop. Both with L.R. Baggs M1A pickups. Both are amazing guitars... especially the Style 1.

Teardrop:

Running both into a Baggs Venue DI -> AER Compact 60 - Ahhhh..... they sound wonderful !

Yea, Bill's a great luthier, wonderful guy and really good tennis player...I consider him a friend now as he attended my 60th Birthday and had to listen to my guitar playing for his efforts.

As Tony Francis says, In another 50 years or so, Bill Asher's guitars will be considered as classics the way Hermann Weissenborns' are today .

May we all live long enough to see it.
