I feel this will be a polarizing post.
I think you will either love or hate this custom made guitar, according to the inside label it's called a Blue Moon, made by H.M Phillips. It is indeed very unique. A quick internet search only yielded the kijiji ad and a few other online seller ads for this particular guitar.
Based on the pictures, this seems to be an extremely well made guitar. It sports a nice spruce top, koa back and sides, and a mahogany neck. The offset soundhole and odd body shape take a bit to get used to but I really like it. It should also be noted that it has 26 frets. What notes lie beyond the 15th fret are usually a mystery to me, but for the more adventurous player this could be a big plus. It also comes with a custom built form fitting case, very classy.
I'd really like to see what other guitars this luthier has built. I'll have to do more online sleuthing later.
Selling for $2200 Canadian

- Prototype Luthier Crafted Double Neck Acoustic Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com: Given Gavin's love of double necked guitars I would be remiss to not share this prototype acoustic here on Guitarz. I like the general body shape and it looks like it may not be as cumbersome as other double neck acoustics....
