This is the 2008 Laskin ‘Sunset Canoe’ custom built by master Luthier Grit Laskin known as perhaps the very finest inlay artist of our time. This Mid-Sized Steel String is amazing in so many ways, the Brazilian Rosewood is among the best you can find as is the silky Sitka Spruce top. Grit, who author the book The Guitarmaker’s Canvas has created here one of his most beautiful inlays to date, in our opinion. The sun setting over a mountain lake, the canoe resting on the shore beside tall pines gives the viewer a sublime feeling of peace and invites the musical spirit to awake. The tone is as pristine as this mountain lake, with deep, round bass and full trebles that shimmer and shine. This is a one-of-a-kind and truly spectacular Laskin guitar and we are honored to offer it to you.
There are a few makers that I truly look forward to 'meeting' every one of their guitars that come our way. Grit Laskin is one. I waited anxiously for this one to arrive and made sure I was the first to see and play it here in the shop. For a moment I just stared at it, the understated and sublime inlay of the sun setting over a mountain lake while a canoe rests ashore really speaks to me. I think we all would love an afternoon on a lake, particularly these days. The peace and tranquility the inlaid poured over me continued as I played this guitar. It is really very sweet and beautiful sounding with a pure note, colorful, shimmering and deep. In true Laskin fashion, this is a versatile guitar that morphs between genres and does them all very well. The playability is outstanding and the armrest bevel and cutaway make it a joy to hold. This is special... 
I really like this guitar a lot. The inlay is subtle and realistic and makes this one stand out. The sound is clear and defined, perfect for recording and it plays beautifully on every fret. | Scale Length | 25.6 in |
