Yes, but I want the goddamn Swan scale.

I like the guitar, but that finish is fugly.

I like the guitar, but that finish is fugly.

the finish is clear gloss. how can it be fugly?

Allow me to correct myself. That wood is hideous.

 

[GergS]

yeah that top is not appealing....doubt I would pull it off the wall to try it

 

[Chad]

I am not a fan of that body style. I liked his original style much better.

 

[Elias Graves]

Nice, but the wood doesn't do it for me. I like the wooden bridge, though. Nice touch.
Volume knob is in the red zone.

[Modern Saint]

I want a Soloway Signature. Money is the object.

 

[Denverdave]

I love the Swan guitars, but I agree that the top on that one just does not work for me.

 

[Prages]

I don't have a problem with the top wood. I do wish the inside were stained darker so there wouldn't be so much contrast between the top and the wood you can see through the F hole.

 

[Tralfaz]

No good. It clashes with my snappy hat.

[MikeT]

What it!

 

[reverend1]

What it!

It's a guitar.

 

[jaxn slim]

I'm a big Soloway fan, obviously, but I don't care for the top, and I'm not sure I could get used to that fingerstyle spacing. Needs more research.

I wonder if he's coming to Nashville this week. Probably not.

 

[Kerouac]

No good. It clashes with my snappy hat.

Ha!

 

[Mark Wein]

lol.

I'm just not too excited by that one.

 

[CBHScott]
