David builds some of the most unique and impressive guitars I have seen in my 44 years as a luthier. His workmanship is impeccable, and the guitars are simply superb. I hope and trust that as he deals with medical issues, he will still continue to make some of his outstanding instruments. Simply put, they are to be coveted.
