Custom Built for the Winner! A Handmade Acoustic Guitar
May 16th, 2010 | 
Author: Ever wanted THE guitar? You can have a customized guitar made especially for you by Luthier Brian Irwin, owner of Charlotte Guitars.
“This guitar has unbelievable brightness of tone from Bass to Treble. Brian molded the Charlotte jumbo after the martin D-28. The Martin has great Bass but lacks in fullness of the Treble. I was amazed at the fullness of sound across the bridge that Brian achieved with the Charlotte. In my opinion he has created the most beautiful and remarkable guitar that I have had the pleasure of playing.” Jerry Burk
