Nope not Languadoc, Yes it is Koa I mispoke. Keep guessing...it might be an obscure maker in the internet circle but not in the guitar world. He makes custom instruments, no two are alike... lives in Michigan. Taught me how to build guitars. |

Ken do you mean fishfreaks or phishfreaks? |

Ahh yes Phishfreaks, Phishheads, you are right. On his website it reads "a guitar similar to one by a player in a famous band". (I edited my first post now to reflect the correct spelling, thanks for pointing that out Joe). He doesn't post on the internet, so you won't ever see him here. Good maker. Very low on jigs and high on hand skill. |

Oh Jeez Carlton I wouldn't take it personally, many people don't post on the internet for lack of time, and many other reasons. Gary Is a generous guy and a great "old school" maker although he is not old. |

Ken, I was just kiddin'. I was wondering why Zimnicki hadn't made his way here, or at the MIMF. Too busy makin' guitars! |

If Paul Languedoc didn't make that guitar, then somebody is seriously ripping off every single detail of the guitars that Paul Laguedoc makes. Unless HE'S ripping someone else off!!! 
Compare here I'd be willing to bet dozens of dollars on this one!

Ken, I'm confused!!! I missed your link to Zimnicki's site. So did Zimnicki make an exact copy of a Languedoc (including inlaying his sig), or are you messing with us???

Mike, This is a replica of the Laguedoc guitar. It has Gary's sig inlaid on the head. I don't think Laguedoc was making guitars when Zimnicki made his. It looks like he is now though. I will tell Gary about this. |
