Comins Lyrist Solidbody Honey Blonde 0229 Electric Guitar, from Comins Guitars

Wow! We are very impressed with this new offering from Master Luthier Bill Comins. These new solidbodies have tons of resonance and sustain for days. The ergonomic body shape makes for a very comfortable, playable instrument. Tonally they have all the bark and bite of a great Les Paul without the muddiness in the low end. This is a serious machine that is meant to rock, hard and loud. Bill has truly accomplished a wonderful feat with this guitar. There are not many luthiers known as well for their archtops that can crossover into the solidbody world and create a splash this big.
