Welcome back to Friends Pick Friday! Today we have Karl Van Der Velden - a great friend of Jay's (and multi-band-mate), the shop, and an all around awesome guy!
Karl is a talented guitar player with lots of vibe to back up his playing, which usually takes place on his electric guitars- so we threw him a little curveball at him with this absolutely stunning 2015 Bedell Revere Orchestra (RV-O-AD/BR). With an Adirondack Spruce top, Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Honduran Mahogany neck, Koa inlays all along the body, this instrument is really something else just to *look* at, let alone play or record! At its young age, it has a wonderfully balanced sound that projects into the room with ease.
The guitar comes with an astonishingly tough custom flight case, a K&K pickup, and plenty of documentation about the guitar (including the Environmental Impact Statement regarding the wood used in its construction!)
