Ribbecke Halfling….the guitar that bridges the gap between archtop, electric and acoustic. They have been called the child of a Les Paul & 335. To me they are more. Smoooooooth tones with even notes and lots of sustain. Responsive to both finger and traditional picks. LOVE a dynamic touch sensitive amp but believe it or not crush it through Bogners as well.
This example has a striking Birdseye Maple Neck not often found on Halflings. A Quilte Mahogany Body with a hand carved Spruce Top. This guitar weighs just 7lb-8oz and comes with its original Reunion Blues bag. The pickups are Custom Shop SWD. 12″ radius, a 25″ Scale and 1.75″ width make this easy to pursue complex fingering/picking. The neck shape, to me, is simlar to a PRS “Wide Fat” profile. The condition is Exc “+” and the guitar is from a loving environment wtih no smoke or gig grunge.
If you want to interact with your instrument as a part of you then this is a guitar worthy of strong consideration.
