Title: Tim's Paragon Maple Parlor
Post by: ttchen on January 13, 2006, 01:29:53 PM
Thought I share with you guys my little canon!  I have used it for worship and special music.  This is the guitar everyone borrows at church when they need to do a special.

Wow Tim... That is a beauty!
Paragon is making some smokin guitars.  You are very lucky.
How about showing us a little more... headstock, rossett fretboard inlays.

Yeah...isn't Tim the one with that sweet OM-03FM as well?  The one he was going to sell and decided against it?

Nice guitar Tim.  I would love to try a Paragon but I've never seen one out in my area.

Thanks guys for the comments.  Yeah, I was the one that had the OM-03 FM for sale.  I couldn't find a guitar near its price range to make a worthy replacement.  The the OM just sounded too good to let go, at least for now.  I do love the look and the sound of flamed maple.  It's so pretty to look at.  Hey Dan, if you are in the area(Henderson) come visit my church and you can play the Paragon!  Rob Bustos is putting out some amazing guitars.  I was able to get this one about a year and a eight months ago.  Rob is a top luthier in the business and a great guy to work with. 
Let me see if I can put up another pic or two. 
Take care guys!

sheesh!  IMO, Paragon's got one of the nicest headstock designs in the hand-built league of guitars... and the bridge design too.  Just such a pretty thing to look at.

Yikes!  That is simply stunning!  Did someone say that already?  I bet it sounds as good as it looks.  Any chance of recording somthing on it for us, Tim?

Thanks for all your compliments.  I don't really have the tools and the know hows to do a recording.  But I will try to find out if our church website's messages would have the special music before the message played with this guitar available.  This parlor has a real nice defined bass and midrange.  It is a surprisingly good strummer.  It handles fingerstyle quite well too.  It has 24.6" scale.  I bet a better player than myself can bring out more "tones" out of this guitar.
