Hatcher Guitars

[zeebow]

i see cigarfan has a couple, does anyone else? these are the most beautiful guitars i have ever seen

who knows, i suddenly find myself wanting a cedar 12 fret Gc, but it will be a while before i can afford one

just want to see what others have, so i can live vicariously

Yeah, as I recall "cigarfan" had a Hatcher made with wood from "The Tree" -- Mahogany's analog to Brazilian Rosewood's "Milagro."  Very desirable.

Mr. Hatcher looks to be more than a luthier; he's an artist with his craft.  Like you said, his guitars have aesthetics like no other's.  I'd love to play one of his guitars for myself to see if the tone matches the appearance.  But so far I've not come across one; perhaps it's just as well, as I'd probably want one...

I understand that he's got a long waiting list for commissioned guitars; but he occasionally has guitars for sale on his web site.  Unfortunately for me, most of his model line seems geared toward fingerstyle players, which doesn't really suit a strummer like myself.  Although he's currently got a "Bear Claw" Sitka/Quilted Maple "Josie" (his small Jumbo model) for sale on his site...  That might fit the bill...  Hmm...

... my wife shot down the idea for me...

For good or bad, no such problem for me...

The one LA Guitars has is a Penelope model in Swiss Spruce/Koa; beautiful, but the model is not my cup of tea...  The only Hatcher currently listed on Reverb is the one LA Guitars has...

But I'll maintain my usual state of 'casual vigilance'...  For whatever reason, these things seem to find me rather than the other way around -- like with the McCollum 12-string, among others...
