“These Resos have a full sound comparable to a lot of high-end large body instruments, including plenty of bass presence, good volume, and great crystal clear tone up and down the neck; totally stage-worthy instruments…really superb instruments.”
—Ivan Rosenberg
“I really like the build and look of your guitars, particularly the headstock design. You were very accommodating in building that thin body 7-string. Not everyone is that flexible when asked for custom ideas.”
—Kevin Maul
I have owned about a dozen Weissenborns, by many different builders, including an original 1920s style one. This sounds better than any of them to my old ears! The sound is FAT, warm, rich, balanced string to string and all up and down the “neck”. Plus it is very attractive to boot!”
—Paul Nichols (Guitars44me)
I was shocked at how he had captured the tone of the original Weissenborn instruments. I have a couple other high-end instruments, and the Kona has become my primary for playing and recording. “
—Casey Hunter
I know there are “closet players” like me but also professional players that have Jack’s instruments and are very pleased with them. Get in touch with Jack and order a Dobro or Weissenborn.”
—Tom Engleman
“I am enjoying it in Open D and playing some blues. The guitar is a perfect example of a professional build by a caring luthier. The choices of hardware was above my expectations.”
—John Tamburro, proud owner
“Jack makes a great Weissenborn especially for the money. They sound and play like they should. Jack is attentive to details on a custom order, and most surprisingly these days, will give you a timetable on a delivery and keep it!”
—Seth Roberts
