Hi! I just realised Zachary Taylor now has a made-in-Vietnam Renaissance Guitar out:
http://www.mid-east.com/Strings/Guitar/Lourebach-Renaissance-Guitarino-Zachary-Taylor Granted that it's based on the 1646 Giovanni Smit, has a flat back and metal frets (tied frets available as special), and a scale length of 42.5cm, but it seems quite beautifully made, and certainly far more elaborate than his Pakistan-made baroque guitar. Has anyone tried out one of these things? Edward Chrysogonus Yong edward.y...@gmail.com To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
