El Kabong is a
no-name 3/4 sized concert guitar found ridiculously cheap on
Craigslist. He had languished in a closet for fifteen years before
finding his way to me. He was a fixer-upper, but my boyfriend is a
woodworker of no small skill, and soon he had the tuning machines
straightened out and readjusted, the pitted frets filed smooth, and
several other finicky adjustments made that revealed the guitar to be
a little gem. The more research we've done, the more we've learned
that El Kabong has some details of construction that make him a very
nice instrument indeed. He has a lovely voice and tremendous sustain.

Paco is a full-size dreadnought,
a gift from Glen. He was made by the Korean company SaeHan (now
Sunghan Music), one of the better Asian makers of stringed
instruments. He has a solid spruce top, a low easy-to-play action, and
a sweet voice. He's been around the block a few times and Glen always
laughingly says that Paco is indestructible!
