Kim Walker is a renowned luthier who has dedicated his career to learning the breadth of techniques and information that lead to building some of the finest guitars around. This 000-12 fret comes from his second year of production in 1996. Walker's masterful lutherie yields instruments that harness the magic of pre-war era guitars with the stability and function of modern builds. This 000 is truly one of the most incredible guitars we have seen. The clarity of the instrument is stunning, and the light build does not lack stability as it has held up perfectly over the past 26 years. Attention to detail and perceptive craftsmanship yield an instrument that carries the legacy of Kim Walker very well as Walker Guitars continue to produce top level instruments. This guitar is in impeccable condition and shows no signs of wear or damage, short of some very light scratching from play and removing from the case.
"Kim Walker guitars are evolutionary designs inspired by American guitars that were constructed during the classic pre-World War II era. Rather than being copies of guitars from that period, they are refinements or interpretations of those designs. Perhaps, variations on a theme would be more accurate.
Each one of my guitars comes standard finished with a gloss varnish. This fabulous finish is very durable, has a warm glow and helps impart that dry vintage tone.
All my guitars are made with an adjustable truss rod in the neck which helps maintain proper playability.
I use an “advanced” scalloped bracing system for the tops. More importantly though, I tap tune each guitar for maximum tone, volume, and presence. My guitars have good dynamic range, good clarity with good separation of notes, and are warm, vibrant, and with thick singing trebles."
Comes with a Hoffee hard case along with the original Harptone case.
