This is a brand new guitar from the workshop of Austin Texas based guitar builder, musician, creative type fellow, Joe Emery. I like Joe and I like his guitars. This Barn Burner is his latest creation, he does a handful of instruments every year. The guitar has a comfortable and familiar scale length of 24 3/4 inches and weighs under 7 1/2 pounds. The top and back are Douglas Fir and the chambered body is combination of Alder and maple.
