| Comments | From William Laskin, This is a brand new Flamenco instrument, specifically made for Jesse Cook. Jesse Cook has played a Laskin Flamenco Negra in performance for many years.This on-going collaboration with Jesse inspired Grit to build Jesse another guitar; after years of dreaming about getting a Flamenco Blanca Laskin into Jesse’s hands, Grit finally managed to find the time to build one.As always, Grit’s guitar was spectacular. But the timing was “just not in the stars”.Jesse was caught by surprise when presented with a new $18,000 Laskin guitar. With his busy schedule, constantly touring and recording, another high end guitar to maintain and care for is just not needed at this busy time in his career.
Jesse and Grit agreed to allow The Twelfth Fret to sell this 2012 Laskin as new guitar complete with the new Laskin full warranty. Jesse kindly put together a demonstration of this guitar for us that was tacked on to the end of a recording a live theatre performance.
