Nicolas Tricard's offset barn custom

Happy birthday, Nico! Lucky fellow - his friends and family teamed up to get him this lovely guitar made from a white pine beam from a certain La Grange, NY barn, circa early-1800's. Lollar 1950's-wind soapbar in the neck, Lollar LEA-90 II in the bridge. single-ply pickguard, rusty steel knobs, toploader bridge, maple / ebony neck, staggered tuners. Sarah Ryan painted a perfect detail under the lacquer. Joyeux anniversaire!
