single malt guitars!

[dheim]

in the US there's a guy who makes guitars from derelict barns and old refrigerator parts. i love that stuff... well, i discovered that Manne, a small brand that makes excellent guitars less than 1 km from where i work (but i never liked their shapes, unfortunately) has done a special edition using Lagavulin barrels!

I don't know what Lagavulin is, but that looks kinda cool.

you're not a whisky lover, i suppose... ;)
it's an Islay single malt... i prefer Laphroaig but it's cool anyway!

I'm not really much of a drinker at all, to be honest - certainly not whisky!  :P

i'm not exactly a whisky drinker... i love its taste but usually i don't fill the glass more than 5-10 mm, more or less...

If i'm not mistaken that's an OAK guitar....... probably a better use of a beautiful tree too than a barrel for gutrot!

Personally I prefer Lagavulin to Laphroig - Laphroig lacks the subtlety of Lagavulin -  but back to guitars - Fylde have been making acoustics from casks this for a while - http://www.fyldeguitars.com/guitars.html

Cool! Anyone has idea of what is this WA Wraparound bridge? Looks like the Wilkinson Wraparound, but on this whiskey guitar it look like made of Brass, what I'd like to try...

also known as orgmorg on project guitar - his work is great.  

they are built from actual old barns and things and i am always amazed how he keeps the character of the barn  in with the new stuff he is doing to the wood

Looks like a load of old rubbish to me!
